Delay Compensation for Video

Post by Nyyx » Thu Jan 28, 2021 7:40 am

This has been an absolute nightmare for me, and others too from what I've gathered. As it stands right now, it's either turn it off and never be able to use your wet/dry knobs as intended or any type of zero parallel processing for that matter, or turn it on and and slowly watch as your video becomes unsynced from your dozens and dozens of tracks as the plugins build up, or wonder why your export is so horribly out of sync when everything plays back fine when previewing. I know Ableton's core audience is music producers, but there are those who for whatever reason, still use Ableton to work on sound design for game audio, scoring to picture, or whatever other area you would need to work with video. This seems like such a small quality of life tweak that would benefit a good chunk of people greatly. I really don't want to have to switch DAWs, but over time there are just becoming more and more reasons to do so.

I never had any video sync issue due to delay compensation. I don't use 3rd party/latency-heavy processors, though, so that might be why.
What kind of plugins are you using in those sets?

I use a bunch of different 3rd party stuff, but plugins from like iZotope, Reaktor, certain m4L devices, etc

Many Izotope plugins have huge lantecy, you might want to look in this area.
