song sequencing jumping around

[dakotasbub]

ok i'm trying to sequence monster mash and i'm at the part where he first sings manster mash, i am synching pumkins to the backup vocals and i get it where i like it using the play visible screen option, then i go to play full sequence to demo it all and they are around a second out of sync, so i go back to play visible screen and they are still out of sync, so i fix it and try it all again and it does the same thing, so now i notice that the part where he says monster mash is playing at 33 seconds instead of like 31 seconds in. so basically the audio track is jumping around on its own, anyone else have this problem , or any suggestiong on fixing it. i have the latest update on the software, and it is not a variable bitrate mp3.

Try re-encoding and making sure it is 128 and constant bit rate.

OR convert to wav to do the sequence and then MP3 to play.

I also agree. Chuck hit the nail on the head I think.

This is a common problem with MP3 files.

If you are looking for a software program to edit and encode audio files, the free program named Audacity is a great program. Many people here have used it for years. You can get it HERE.
If you are going to encode the audio file to MP3 format using Audacity, you will also need to download and install the Lame MP3 Encoder for Audacity HERE.
Good Luck!
