Depending on the host application implementation, the delay

compensation feature may not provi de aut omatic compensation when Duende plug-ins are inserted on s ends, groups, or buses. In this situation, the solution is to manually compensate for the plug-ins.

These explanations of delay compensation apply primarily to playback only.

Compensating for latency in Pro Tools LE and M-Powered

 

Because Pro Tools LE and M-Powered do not feature PDC it

 

must be done manually when Duende plug-ins are used. Due

 

to the use of firewire and the nature of how signals are sent to

 

and from Duende, a l atency is introduced which will delay

 

any audio track, aux input, master fader or instrument track

 

by a specific amount.

 

Tracks that use no Duende plug-ins or fewer than the t rack

 

with the most Duende plug-ins will need to be delayed so that

 

all tracks are in time. Because this latency is reported by Pro

 

Tools it is easily compensated for.

 

Here’s how:

 

The track with the most Duende plug-ins will introduce the

 

most latency, those with 1 or 2 plug-ins will introduce less and

 

those w ith no D uende p lug-ins w ill in troduce no la tency

 

(providing other plug-ins that introduce latency are not used).

 

To find out the latency introduced on a particular track by

 

Duende p lug-ins, go to the c hannel in t he mix er a nd

 

‘Command/Ctrl+Click’ twice in the green text below thefader

 

(normally showing vol). The value shown (dly) is the latency

 

introduced on that track in samples.

 

Now load the ‘Digidesign Time Adjuster Long’ plug-in on,for

 

example, a track with no Duende plug-ins. Double click on

 

the delay box and type in the latency value of the track that has

 

the most Duende plug-ins. The track with the most D uende

 

plug-ins and the track with none will now be perfectly in sync

 

on playback.
