Hi all,

I was just about to fall in love with Pro Tools, when I discovered that it does not have delay compensation for sidechains in any native version. I mean, not even in Ultimate!

This is not intended to be a rant of any kind, but since I make use of sidechains a lot and I don't mean simple bass ducking only - which I guess is not too uncommon with electronic music production - I'm genuinely wondering why this is not really discussed all that often and how you guys keep on working with this serious limitation.

I mean, I've read about people manually nudging clips to make the delay of their source tracks fit, but since this is not a set and forget operation and one would have to adjust the offset everytime I insert another latency inducing plugin, keeping track of the when and where latencies occur seems like an inacceptible PITA to me.

So, how do you work with this? Or is it just an overblown thing to you, that doesn't really matter?
