Return Track to Bus/Audio Track?

Post by adrianliska » Sat Oct 28, 2023 7:51 pm

Hey People!

Please I have one problem I need to solve.

Why there is latency when I route return track to audio track?

My mixing workflow is that I have all tracks routed to tracks that i using as buses. For example i set output on my kick drum to lets say Track 40, Track In and, and on Track 40 i set "IN" on monitoring. This became my Drum Bus. Everything works fine. But when I create return track to use some parallel compresion and then I try to route this to my drum bus there came latency and I dont know why. So when I route audio track output to other audio track, it works perfectly. But when I route return track output to other audio track there is latency.

Can I do something about this?

on the audio (bus) track you are routing to, right click the sends and select "disable send" on all the sends on that bus track.

the reason is - if that send (on the bus) is activated its possible to make a feedback path, and those cant be automatically latency compensated.

if the bus sends are deactivated then it becomes possible for live to sync that track again using automatic delay compensation
