DSP Delays Incurred by TDM Plug-ins
Virtually all TDM plug-ins incur some amount
of signal delay.
If you are working with mono tracks, or are pro-
cessing all channels with the same plug-in, the
signal delays are not long enough to be signifi-
cant and should not be a concern.
This signal delay is significant only if you use a
plug-in on one channel of a stereo or multichan-
nel signal but not the others, since this can
cause the channels to be slightly out of phase.
The following table shows the delays inherent
in each type of Bomb Factory TDM plug-in:

Pro Tools systems provide automatic Delay
Compensation (and other methods) to com-
pensate for signal processing delays. For de-
tailed information, see the
Pro Tools Refer-
ence Guide
