Solid State Logic 82S6MC120A manual

This means that you can generally use up to 2 Duende PCIe plug-ins per channel without considering latency issues, but this will depend on the buffer size set in Pro Tools, the sample rate and which Duende PCIe plug-ins are loaded. Note that if an audio track with 1 Duende PCIe plug-in is routed to an aux channel with 2 Duende PCIe plug-ins the total latency for that audio getting to t he mix bus will equal 3 plug-i ns; this will however be clearly shown by Pro Tools.

To v iew t he lat ency i ntroduced by plug-ins g o t o th e bottom left hand corner of the Mix view, click on the small black/grey box and select ‘Delay Compensation’.

Here you will find 2 values; ‘dly’ is the amount of latency introduced by the plug-ins on that channel and ‘cmp’ is the nu mber o f s amples P ro Tools i s delaying the other channels by. If the ‘dly’ value is less than the 4095 set in the Delay Compensation box then you don’t n eed t o wo rry and everythi ng will be compensated for.

As y ou can see in the picture s hown l eft the ‘kc merged’ channel has 1 Duende PCI e c hannel strip lo aded onto it, therefore Pr o Tools is

automatically delaying th e other channels b y that amount (1028 samples) to ensure all audio is kept in sync.

If the total latency on a channel exceeds this maximum value the t ext will be red indicating that Pr o Tools c annot compensate f or th is much latency. In this scenario t he additional latency which Pro Tools cannot compensate for will have to be dealt with manually.

tThehe valuemaximumof this latencywill be minus maximum latency Pro Tools can compensate for, ie. 4095 samples.

In this case it is:

4108 (shown in red) – 4095 (Pro Tools maximum) = 13samples Please refer to the ‘Compensating for latency in Pro Tools LE and M-Powered’ found in this manual for information on how to do this manually.
