Show-off. (just kidding!)

But the point remains, why can't the GUI just function normally during a bounce...

how do you mean that it's 'although now it's manageable'? As in putting in manual delay compensation into the IO settings?

I'd really like to be able to not worry about having to change that every time I open a session with a different sample rate. I'm running a Lynx AES-16e card with an Aurora 16VT with PT's Ultimate 2019.5. Has there been any improvement on this of late?

Yes, I have 6 I/O tamplates that I import depending on the sample rate. This way I don’t have to change I/O settings every time I change sample rate. Import settings and good to go. It only takes a few seconds.

Great thanks... makes it all a little less painful this way.

In light of yesterday's Mac Pro announcement: Linux support.

I've just been setting up these templates and if I just stick to 44.1 or 48kHz the presets work but if I go to 88.2 or 96k the system delay keeps changing to the point where the saved templates become slightly out. I've made sure the HW buffer size is the same and nothing has changed on the Lynx side but there's something about 2X FS that makes the system delay go funky. I then have to reboot the Mac before the 1x FS templates are working properly again. So this manual HW compensation system is not stable. Really in 2019 Avid should step up their game and provide real-time hardware delay compensation through pinging the interface/converters/hardware in every session so that the end user doesn't have to manually work it out each time. I need something reliable and repeatable. It's crazy that Reaper, StudioOne, Ableton, Cubase, Nuendo etc. all have this for 3rd party interfaces but Avid still hasn't done this. It's really making me think Pro Tools is not so 'Pro' anymore.

Maybe it's a system depending issue. It works ok on mine...

Also, the delay changes if you have or not the "ignore errors during playback/recording" box checked.

Can't agree more. Hope Avid address this aspect in the near future features.

It's possible but it's all pretty industry standard kit, 2010 Mac Pro 12 core, UAD Octo, Aurora 16 VT, Lynx AES-16e, Sierra 10.12.6, PT's Ultimate 2019.5. I called the national Avid rep and he's logged the issue and will be looking into it for me, so we'll see I guess.

This feature has been omitted in 2019.5, seems to be on by default now with no option to turn it on or off now. It's not displayed in the I/O settings any longer.

It's in the playback engine. Mine is still here. PT2019.5 Native

In Playback Engine (as it always has been), still there on Ultimate 2019.5 (HDX)
