Re: Fix Side Chain Delay Compensation NOW please!
Hey Avid.
PLS fix this issue. It's utterly unfathomable that it hasn't already been remedied. All work-arounds are unmusical, time-consuming, inefficient and stop-gap. This simple fix would make PT significantly better - and, might I add, open up fresh/under-utilised areas of the market (ie., in electronic music production, specifically). Kill two birds? |

Re: Fix Side Chain Delay Compensation NOW please!
Ignorance is bliss so I'm afraid to look. I have a few tracks with side chain compression using Avid's dyn3. Got a kick slightly ducking the bass. Got a vocal slightly ducking the heavy guitars. Got a spoken vocal slightly ducking a held vocal note.
Are you saying the ducking is late? Session is 44k/24 fwiw. PT 12.7 vanilla. OS 10.12.3. |

Re: Fix Side Chain Delay Compensation NOW please!
I always just assumed this was a HD only feature, not a feature that simply doesn't exist. What is life.

Erratic, inconsistent, unpredictable timing behaviour on side chain inputs. Needs considerable improvement before it can be deemed trustworthy. |

Re: Fix Side Chain Delay Compensation NOW please!
It is an HDX-only feature. They say it requires hardware, but I beg to disagree -- it's a software feature and should be available for all users. Maybe some day...

Re: Fix Side Chain Delay Compensation NOW please!
I'm wondering if a moderator could please explain a use for a non-delay compensated side chain.
For me, having this is MUCH worse than having no side chain at all. I simply stopped using them. It's one of those features where you think that you must be crazy because a mix that sounded good an hour ago, suddenly sounds different. You spend hours trying to track down the problem, changing eq, flipping phase, ruining your hard work only to finally realize that the side chains that you have used all over your session are now firing out of time. It's actually kind of cruel. |

Re: Fix Side Chain Delay Compensation NOW please!
I'd go one further and say - why isn't it possible by now to make the whole delay compensation thing completely invisible to the user? Most times I don't care how much the system is "delayed", or "advanced", or whichever way round it is, I just want to know the system is working as it should. Should there be any reason to need the option to turn the delay compensation off, if the system is working as it should?
