Weird Latency Issue

[ToeKneeBahrtun]

Hi guys,
I am a newbie to the recording thing, but I have been doing alot of research and am quickly learning Audacity. I have read about the latency issues, but mine seems a little different. When I record over an imported file (mp3 or wav gives same issue), I experience latency problems, but not at a consistent rate...the lag seems to get worse as the track plays, so I can't pin down a specific latency to use for correction. Any idea if this could be something other than the regular Audacity latency problem?

Thanks,
Tony

just from personal experience, and i could be totally wrong, but i used to have the same problem. The way i dealt with it is the way you would deal with any normal lag or delay. Close other programs and whatnot. If that isn't your problem then sorry for wasting your time. That's just how i fixed mine.
