and I got the response:Hi,
I was wondering if the plugin delay compensation issues were fixed in Live 9?
There were two that affected me:
1. Automation was not properly delay compensated
2. Effect plugins were not synced properly if there were other plugins before them in the effects chain
Thanks
EDIT: I've just realized that I'm not supposed to post Ableton support emails. Sorry everyone. To summarize the email they said that they are fixing SRC issues with built-in plugins. In other words, they didn't address my question about PDC at all...
This response confuses me because I was unaware that sample rate conversion had anything to do with the two plugin delay compensation issues I specified.
I'm not an expert on audio programming so maybe someone with a bit more knowledge could explain what Ableton's response means? I also figured you guys would be interested in a response.
