Lag between tracks

[sondance]

Recorded guitar on track 1. Recorded vocal on track 2 listening to guitar on track 1.
On playback Vocal is not synced to guitar.

What do I need to do to avoid this?
thx

What interface and driver are you using? Without more info it's hard to say.....possibly the interface you're using is not reporting latency correctly. If that is the case there is a way to manually adjust it in preferences/audio/device. Reaperblog on youtube has a good video about doing this.

Running Win7 on a laptop and using USB for a Yeti mic

I'm not familiar with using USB mic's but the problem might be from your system latency since I don't believe you have direct monitoring. Typically with a dedicated audio interface you will have direct monitoring so you are hearing everything in realtime.

If you lower your buffer size to 128 or 64 in audio device preferences and record the vocals again does it improve?
