[tip] how to compensate plug ins delays

Post by geoffroy » Fri Jul 30, 2004 4:35 pm

Hi

You can manually do some delay compensation in Live and use a good impulse reverb like SIR
http://www.knufinke.de/sir/index_en.html

1. download the free vst plug Sample Delay in the tools page of
http://perso.club-internet.fr/vinuesa/p ... eneral.htm
(and listen to his music, it's awesome)

2. create a set with two audio tracks and one return track
3. rename the second track to "premaster" and insert a sample delay on that track. Open Sample Delay and put 8960 as the delay value (it's the latency of SIR)
4. re name the return track to "reverb" and insert SIR on that track.
5. route the output of the first audio tracks to "premaster"
6. play some clips on the first audio track
7. you can raise the reverb amount of the first track
8. all is on sync

Best wishes

Where is "sample delay"? Is it "simple delay"?

This is the best Live tip I've seen in a long time. Too bad its taken me this long to find it. I've been fighting with SIR as an effect send for a week! Thanks for this.

awesome!! This thing has breathed new life into my external hardware! Sure you have to set up dummy tracks and routing, but its worth it when you can finally synch up external FX boxes :)

SIR Delay Compensator is available here:
http://home.earthlink.net/~rocksonics/FreePlugs.htm

Anyone know how to use the new delay compensation in Live5 with SIR? I'm confused how to set it up and get it to work correctly. Screenshots would be appreciated.

ha ha, right you are. I wasn't sure what was happening because in addition to the delay compensation feature with Live5 is also the new "track delay" that shows below the tracks. Turns out it has nothing to do with this as you have pointed out. Thanks very much, poshook.
