Bus/Aux & ADC

[Uli Rennert]

Hi all,
If I route every channel to a recording master bus playing into an aux channel for printing my mix, and insert any delay-consuming plugin (Waves L316) that will exceed the possible delay compensation, may I just turn off the delay compensation on that aux without affecting the sound?
Thanks!

Any plugin that's on the master track, does not need to be compensated for. Personally, I usually bounce with no plugins on the master and leave that to a separate step. If you turn ADC off, then nothing gets compensated for

Thanks, albee1952! By 'master track' you mean my aux track where I routed all my tracks into via my master record bus, in order to print the mix, right? That I should not turn off delay comp at all is clear. Just wanted to know, if all the other tracks will be compensated properly. It sounds like, but I was not 100% shure. I have to apply the plugins in the master track during mixing in order to check subtle changes in my eq/dynamics settings, how they effect the bus plugins.
Thanks again!

Hi,

Yes any aux that has the entire mix going to it can be bypassed from the ADC.

Only caveat is the bounce to disk will have a slightly larger gap at the front end slightly less at the end.
