plugin latency

Post by scheffkoch » Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:04 am

hi,

i have a question regarding plugins that introduce latency...:

e.g.:

- my buffer within preferences is set to 128 samples
- when i have a plugin that introduces 32 samples latency on track 1 and
- another plugin that introduces 64 samples latency on track 2

is the overall latency then 128 + 32 + 64 = 224 samples or 128 + 64 = 192 samples since the calculation is based on a „maximum latency per track“ basis...?

...hope that makes sense...

the idea is that the audio should stay time aligned, so if the plugin delay compensation is working correctly then it would be 128 + 64 samples.
