Automation Latency

[sphereman]

Apologies if this has been discussed in depth before, but couldnt find anything on this. When writing automation, I notice that the volume graph will jump back after I hit stop. Im hearing it one way while writing the automation, and playback is a little late. The amount varies depending on the playback buffer size. The larger the buffer size the more it jumps back. This seems kind of "non pro" to me. If I turn off delay compensation it does not do it. Kind of need that on though especially when using lots of UA plug ins. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. This is not unique to PT 10 either. Happened under PT 9 as well. Im not past the limit on DC for PT either. Reminds me of the Allison automation days!!

I have the same problem. Anyone have a fix? I do see a commonality in that I'm using UA plugs as well.

After a little more testing: DISABLE DELAY COMPENSATION while writing automation was a workaround. The above problems were still there even on a new, blank session with one empty audio track. Hopefully Avid will fix this annoying little problem that is obviously Pro Tools and not third party plug-in related.

Same issue here. No UAD plugins. I tested it in a session with one audio track, routed directly to physical outputs. w/ no plugins, automation was written in time. With one plugin on the audio track (I used a Waves Linear Phase EQ) the automation was visibly and audibly written late. ProTools 9.0.6 -- this is not a ProTools 10 issue solely.
