Issue Troubleshooting - Vocal Track Out of Sync

Hi guys! New to using this software after I updated my OS on my old MacBook and it broke GarageBand 🙃 I'm over Apple and their planned obsolescence bullshit, so trying out something new.

For my first project, I am recording some background vocals over an mp3 a friend of mine sent over. I've tried it on two different projects now, and every time I finish recording my part on a separate vocal track, the track ends up out of sync. I don't think it's a latency issue - the vocals are ahead of the first track, not behind. I've Googled everything I can think of, and I can't figure out the problem. I'm sure it's something super obvious but I'm out of ideas, please help!!

Go into the project, press tools and press latency test. Then once you complete that re record your vocals and they should be on time.

It's not a latency issue, as I said in the post. I ran the test multiple times to be sure, but the vocals come in early, not late.

My bad, maybe try moving them across I had the same issue & latency test fixed it

That's what I've been doing, it just sucks that I have to move the track back where I want it literally every time I record it? It should just stay put...
