Delay in recorded material

[strangedaysuk]

Hi,

It might have been asked before but I keep getting delay compensation stuff up through Google.

Is this normal on 10.

Recording using my Focusrite 56 to monitor back on so virtually 0 latency recording but then the material is of and I have to nudge it back. Seems a bit stupid to me as the benefit should be that I can leave the hardware buffer to max to let the CPU have the easiest time but then the material gets recorded out of time - is this a setting? Is it a bug? is there a solution.

I havent mentioned my specs really because I don't know if this is something normal or not.

But its basically latest version PT 10.3.10 (not HD), OSX 10.8.5, Mac Pro 8 core with 10gb RAM and a Focusrite Saffire 56.

Is delay comp on?

While I wouldn't set it to the highest buffer setting, 512 should be good enough for tracking

Should delay comp be turned of when recording regardless? I read somewhere that HD should be turned of is it the same with Native?

delay comp should be on....because your monitoring via the saffire mix....

[strangedaysuk]

Oh well that sucks then, I have to go through al the takes I do and nudge stuff back into place vocals are always the most obvious. Shame as I dont get that behaviour in logic and I never had it on HD systems.

It should not matter.
ProTools should put his waves right where he records them, relative to what he hears.
PT has done this since infancy; compensate for playback buffer or whatever you call it, its basic.
There is someting wrong if he has to nudge, I say.

But stuff in the monitoring chain might intruduce delay, of course...

Ben's right that the way should not be off because it sounds off due to delay

Any Plugins on the master?

[strangedaysuk]

Plug in on the master - yes possibly and now you say this I think you gonna tell me that's bad as I saw a producer use an aux for putting compression on rather than using a master bus.

Is this correct does the master introduce issues with plugs on it?
