Default Re: Automatic Delay Compensation - LE and HD sessi

Quote:
Thanks for the feedback so far.

When I was working on the session, I did change some of the plugins from RTAS to TDM (or vice versa) as I was running out of CPU power or alternatively DSP power. From what some of you were saying, this would cause the issue? If that's the case, what's the best way to handle the situation where some plugins are RTAS and others are TDM?

As for ADC, after I noticed the delay issues, I enabled it, but it didn't fix the problem. Based on the responses, if ADC compensates for DSP latency, that means it only helps for TDM (or HD bussing delays), not RTAS, delays?

Again, I appreciate your help.
Hi,
So, if I know i'm going back and forth between HD and LE and/or MP and I'm using plugs
which introduce delay, i basically don't use the HD delay compensation engine for those
mixes.
I go through the (ply) tracks and make a list of the plugs which introduce latency and find
the plug with the longest latency. I then make a summing bus (with an aux track) that
is the undelayed path and route all the tracks that don't have delay to that summing
track. I add a time shifter plug to delay the 0 delay tracks by the same amount as the
plug-in delayed tracks so they line up. sometimes you have to get a little creative to
make it all work out . but . it's not as big a pain in the butt as it's often made out
to be. do i wish LE and MP had PDC? yea .. it's embarassing in this day and age that
they don't and PDC doesn't influence an HD purchase decision .. i can bet big money
on that ;-)
