Default Varying delays between different preamps

I am runnig a C24(focusrite preamps),TL audio M3 tube tracker,Drawmer 1960 tube compressor,Jo Meek VC1q voice channel, as pre-amps for my TDM HD system.I have noticed that I get varying amounts of delay from the differnt preamps.If recording drums I might use channels of all the pre-amps,
and on inspection of the wave forms the focusrites are quickest,the M3 shows a delay of 35samples,and at worst where I use say the 1960 and VC1q in line I get approx 100 samples.Yeah it's not much but it makes editing live drums awkward,especially as the quickest preamps still show a delay to the grid .When working to a click using real instruments and players it makes it hard to Know where the 1st beat of a bar actually is.

If anyone has had similar encounters and found a way of compensating for the varying delays,preferably in real time I would be most grateful.

Default Re: Varying delays between different preamps

Hi, sounds like you're using different converters (i.e. 192,96 and maybe 888 or 882 on the legacy port) that do have different conversion delays..
In this case you can get rid of the problem by activating the "compensate after recording" option in your ProTools preferences.
