Default HDX Sidechain Delay Compensation Broken?

Hi all,
I stepped up to HDX somewhat recently in large part to take advantage of sidechain delay compensation. To my surprise, it doesn’t seem to work very well. I have the option checked in preferences, but I’m still getting audio arriving early/late to sidechain inputs when I monitor them. Is this feature only for DSP plugins? Has anyone else found any “rules” to using sidechain delay compensation properly?
Thanks in advance.

wondering about this too!!

Can you test with both DSP/Native instances of the same plug-in to see if only AAX dsp's compensate a compressors key input properly?

maybe only Avid AAX DSP's do it? this isn't clear on any documentation...

I'm very curious to hear more details on this. Were you able to test it? Has anyone?

bump... can anyone try a test using the same DSP and non-dsp plugin?

Delay comp for side chains is indeed only for DSP plugs

So basically what we're saying is AVID can't get it to work for native plugs regardless of architecture. *Slow hand clap*

My feeling is they absolutely could get it to work if they were motivated to do so.

The fact that it would be slightly more complicated than just adding the "feature" probably doesn't help it's chances of even being implemented.

They would have to add a preference to turn it on or off so as to keep compatibility with existing sessions which have side-chain delay accounted for manually.

I used to find it a real frustration but I've got so used to the workarounds I don't even care that much anymore. It is the exact sort of incremental improvement I was hoping to start seeing more often when they switched to a subscription model many moons ago.

There are so many small details which could be improved upon, I'd much rather a steady incremental development and refinement than flashy new features.
