SMPTE, Sync, and Offset, Chapter 11

11.9TRACK DELAY

Track Delay allows offsetting individual tracks in time. Example: Delaying a snare part slightly compared to other drums can give a more “laid back” feel.

Maximum delay time is 170.0 ms at 48 kHz and 185.0 ms at 44.1 kHz, adjustable in 0.1 ms steps (0 through 8160 samples). The delay time displayed is accurate only while playing at normal pitch (48 kHz or 44.1 kHz), and will not compensate for pitch changes or external clock variations.
