No Plugin-Delay-Compensation on Send-Channels?

Post by Landser » Mon Dec 29, 2008 10:37 pm

I usually don't use sends but since i was in need of a parallel compression with Waves V-Comp, i set it up in a return-channel and i got a delay.

First i thought that maybe the plugin does not report the latency correctly and tried it in Reaper. In Reaper there is absolutely no delay.

Confused.

Live's delay compensation on send/returns goes off all the time, annoying, sometimes closing re-opening fixes it sometimes more drastic ation is needed. Well annoying.

A) copy the track, use one with the comp and the other without and mix the 2 tracks

B) use a wet/dry rack fx
Dell 9200, E6700 (2 x 2.66 gHz), 4 Go RAM, i965 chipset, ATI PCie x1300 256 mo, MOTU 828 mkII
firewire, 2 UAD-1 PCI, 1 UAD-2 QUAD , 1 liquid mix, live 7, reason 4

None of these is any good having multiple drum
tracks you would like to "glue together" with a drum bus.

This seriously needs a fix.

I have no problems with insert-FX. This problem only seems to exist with return-channels.

Thanks for the hint about the rack: works perfectly!
