Hardware Sends (Delay Compensation)?

[typhy]

I am buying a Strymon BigSky reverb and want to use it as a send on my tracks. I am wondering will I run into latency problems? All the latency problems seem to be related to Hardware INSERTS, I do not find anything talking about Hardware SENDS.

Don't worry about it. It's a digital box with AD/DA converter so it has some latency anyway. Lexicon PCM reverbs have about 2ms latency and it has never been a problem in zero-latency analog systems

That's because you will Insert the verb on an Aux Input and use an internal send to get signal to it.

So you think you're doing a hardware send, but you're really still doing a hardware insert.

This is the proper way to do it so PT "knows" what's going on.

So I guess I will be running into latency problems.
So will having the aux send on my track delay the whole track back some milliseconds?
Or will it delay the actual reverb from kicking it immediately (mimicking pre-delay)?

It will have a predelay effect.
But you can tackle the latency using the hardware inserts delay pane on the I/O page. You put the latency that has your reverb. For example, look at the reverb manual for that spec, then put in the insert pane and you can have nearly a compensated send and return.
I don't know if this feature is only for
