Question by S: How Do I sync Pro tools (fast track) with my Reason song?
Just bought an M-Audio fast track. I import my beat from Reason into Pro tools, adjust the tempo to match the BPM, record my guitar, it all sounds fine in Pro tools, I then remove the beat (drums), and bounce the guitar to disk.
Here is the problem. After I have loaded the guitar parts onto my Reason song, the sync starts ok, but gradually starts to slip, until it is about half a beat off. Needless to say, this is not helpful. I was wondering if it is a clock error, If its quantitizing strangely. I just need to fix it. Anyone with any info on this subject, please let me know.
Once again, timing is off when bounced from Pro tools back to reason.
Also I am familiar with Record, but want to expand my knowledge base.
I have an Acer i5 quad core laptop,
4gb RAM
640 Gb’s HD
M-Audio Fast Track (with pro tools)

So are you talking about Guitar created in Reason? Or guitar straight into Pro Tools?
Also are you using Re-Wire through Pro Tools to interact with Reason?
Because if you are not, that would definitely make things a lot more efficient.
Re-Wire is a plug-in that comes with Pro Tools.
Sorry this is not a question that can be easily solved. Feel free to email me if you can’t get it figured out. I use Reason 4 with Tracktion. But I’ve ran it through Cubase and Pro Tools. And I haven’t had any sync problems when using Re-Wire.

Update 28/5 2010: Okay, since a lot of you are asking: The pieces of eight are NOT actual pieces of eight. A piece of eight is the Spanish silver dollar from that period(or so I have been told.) The actual pieces of eight that the pirate lords carried were pieces of trash that they happened to have in their pockets. As Mr. Gibbs says it: “Nine pieces of whatever-we-happened-to-have-in-our-pockets-at-the-time. Not very piratey now, is it?” or something along those lines. The original plan was to use pieces of eight, but the original pirate lords were broke. Also, using trash keeps them from using the piece of eight out of greed. The lyrics are further down in the description. The kid does not have braces. It has been discussed in the comment, and there is a proper historical reason for it. The gallows used for this are actually misplaced by a century or so, but this does look much cooler. The kid is NOT William Turner Jr.’s kid, that is simply impossible. His kid isn’t borne until after the main events of this movie, including this kid’s hanging and Beckett’s death. Update 16/4 2010: 1.6 million views, thanks …
