Duende User Guide

Most host applications automatically compensate for this latency by simply turning on the Plug-in Delay Compensation (PDC) or similar, usually found in the applications preferences. Some hosts even provide full plug-in delay compensation throughout the entire signal path, including sends, groups, and buses.

The location of the settings for the PDC option within some common host applications is as follows:

Cubase SX + Nuendo 2/3:

Always on unless the ‘Constrain Delay Compensation’ feature is used to disable delay compensation on individual plug-ins: ‘Devices Menu>Plug-in Information>Use Delay Compensation’

Logic Pro: ‘Preferences>Audio>General’

Digital Performer 4/5:

‘Setup menu>Configure Audio System>Configure Studio Settings...’

Ableton Live:

‘Options>Delay Compensation’

Important: Delay compensation is fully automatic and requires no user intervention when Duende plug-ins are used in hosts that support full Plug-in Delay Compensation.

PDC	No PDC
Steinberg Cubase 4	Final Cut Pro
Steinberg Cubase SX 2 & 3	Soundtracks Pro
Steinberg Nuendo 2 & 3	Garageband
Logic Pro 7.1 or higher	Pro Tools LE and M-Powered
Digital Performer 4.5 & higher
Pro Tools HD 7 or higher
Ableton Live 5
Cakewalk Sonar 5 & 6

Depending on the host application implementation, the delay compensation feature may not provide automatic compensation when Duende plug-ins are inserted on sends, 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.
