Pro Tools AAX Plug-In Latency Chart

[Tweakhead]

I don't know if anyone has done this before me, but I tried to find a master chart on both the DUC, and on the internet - and I couldn't find one.

I have therefore created a Google Spreadsheet entitled - "Pro Tools AAX Plug-In Latency Chart"

I thought that it might be useful to have a central place where this information can be entered, edited, and viewed.
The headers are only editable by me, but the entire chart can have information entered by anyone who accesses the chart.

Obviously, information can be deleted too - so I will try to make frequent backups.
Of course you can also download the spreadsheet in just about any format yourself (Excel, PDF, etc).
So please use responsibly !

Feel free to give me any feedback if you guys think the layout can be improved.
If this already exists somewhere else, please let me know and I'll delete mine.

Hi John, nobody needs to submit anything to me for entering the data. They can just fill it in directly on the spreadsheet themselves. It will immediately be seen by everyone who views the chart. The beauty about this is that between all of us, we might cover all the plug-ins that are out there. It will obviously take months (even years) to become a truly useful database - but hey, it has to start somewhere right?

This was just my first idea of a starting point. If it becomes popular, then I agree - the sticky idea would be very nice if the DUC admins approve.

I could even turn over the entire project to them if they wanted.

I'll stick it for now and see if Jeffro is ok with it.

I suppose it'll depend on participation whether it "sticks"

Now that's what I'm talking about.

I do think the community would need to embrace this and add to it for it to be a worthwhile resource.

so.... get to it everybody!

Wow, Google Spreadsheets is even cooler than I imagined.

I just went to look at the page, and I can see users filling in data live while I'm actually looking at the page.

Awesome. Thanks guys for the contributions so far !

P.S. Yeah, that must have been you John ! Thanks. Yes, I will do a little organizing periodically if things get in disarray. The entry of data is what's important right now.

How is the latency being measured?

1. Delay Compensation must be enabled in your Playback Engine.
2. View the Delay Compensation section in View menu > Mix Window Views > Delay Compensation (checked)
3. Insert a plug-in.
4. The 1st item (nearest the fader) in the Delay Compensation box is the value reported.
