Carbon and Delay Compensation
I'm thinking of purchasing Carbon, overall for its handling latency in recording.
For this reason I'm wondering how it behaves during recording when "Delay Compensation" is active. I mean... With a usual interface I have to disable Delay Compensation to make recordings that are in sync with existing tracks (which have some plugins on them). What happens with Carbon? Can I let DC ON or I have to disable it in the same way?

Re: Carbon and Delay Compensation
I believe I just leave it on with no issue BUT note I have an outboard HW reverb so I am not trying a non DSP reverb plugin. So when I dub in a new audio track I have all the session tracks in DSP mode. Also I tend to only have DSP compatible plugins going when recording (usually only EQ an sometimes a compressor ) . Also I record all my audio before I introduce any VI recording into the session (just my personal workflow)

Re: Carbon and Delay Compensation
Delay compensation is disabled on Green tracks while recording. Auxes, too.

Re: Carbon and Delay Compensation
So it escapes me the total scenario:
Suppose that I have many VI instruments on my project, and I have Delay Compensation enabled. Then I have to record some audio tracks that have to play obviously in time with the VI tracks. What does happen monitoring the backing track during recording? The VI instruments will be delay compensated, while the green tracks no, so will the new recording tracks be in time with the others on my headphones??

Re: Carbon and Delay Compensation
Yes the recording tracks will be in time with others.

Re: Carbon and Delay Compensation
This is not always the case, unfortunately. In the more than two years I've owned Carbon I've encountered this issue at some point every single session I've used it on. It cannot be trusted, at least in MY work flow and MY experience.
I run the same way as described in the Sound on Sound review. |

Smaller errors in input latency compensation (not ADC) are also avoided by not using ignore errors. (And separate to these we have the confusion caused by changes in 2023.3 with latency comp on master busses and exceeding ADC limits). I do not have a Carbon, and have no clue if these other latency issues are in any way related to any issues with Carbon. But the issues we face with other interfaces are a two edged sword. On one hand there are workarounds, so maybe these bugs only waste some folks time, wreck some client's projects, etc. And on the other that Pro Tools has such gross latency related bugs is beyond stupid and should have gotten much more attention from Avid, especially when it might be that changes in the code in recent years introduced at least some of these problems.
