Spent three full days trying to sync my audio with my video after a simple mic swap.
I thought it would take an hour, but the drift was so bad I had to manually align every single cut in the 15-minute video, which took me until 2 AM last night.

Always record a separate clap sync point after any hardware change.

How many times have we all skipped the simple step that saves a huge headache later? It's like @barnes.karen said, you end up with a drift mess and waste hours fixing it. I see this everywhere, people rushing past the basic setup to get to the fun part. Then the whole project gets shaky because the foundation wasn't locked in. That extra clap is just good discipline, same as checking your tools before a big job. Skipping it always costs more time than it saves.

Ugh, that sounds like a total nightmare. Did you figure out what caused the drift in the first place?
