crucify this

Takes No Damage posted:

I've tried recording my drums using a mic on my PC and Audacity, then going back and putting the original song as a second track. They both show as having the same stats (44.1 khz etc).


It's possible that audacity is converting to 44.1 from 48k on import. So if you created a session in 44.1k to record the drums, and then imported a 48k music file, a sample rate conversion may be taking place to conform it and thus you would see 44.1 when checking the file info in the session. I'm not familiar with audacity specifically and how it handles sample rate mismatches but this would be the case in pro tools and I assume there is similar functionality.

Otherwise though, like Duke Chin said, the safest bet is to do everything from the same source with a long headphone cable or whatever. It will save you a lot of headache in the long run.
