D-Show Profile Guide160
Plug-In Levels
D-Show displays its levels in meters in dBVU, with
0 dBVU =+4dBu analog out = –20dBFS.
Internally, D-Show provides up to 48-bit processing for
built-in EQ and dynamics. Plug-Ins provide up to 24-bit pro-
cessing, with level matching circuitry and logic ensuring max-
imum fidelity and sonic performance throughout the entire
signal path. Due to variances in how plug-in metering is im-
plemented by different manufacturers, performance may vary
with regard to plug-in gain reduction meters and their relative
levels.
When using side-chain routing, be aware of potential level dif-
ferences between Input Channel pickoff points. For more in-
formation, see “Side-Chain Keys and Filters” on page 132.
Plug-In Latency and Processing Delay
Plug-In latency includes processing delay of the plug-in itself
plus routing delay, as follows:
• Instance delay: (2 samples per plug-in)
• DSP chip delay (3 samples)
Viewing Plug-In Latency
Cumulative channel processing delay can be viewed by
right-clicking the Inserts area of the selected channel. The cu-
mulative delay includes latency reported by all inserted
plug-ins, signal routing and the known hardware insert delay,
if applicable.
Individual plug-In processing delay can be seen by right-click-
ing the plug-in icon in the rack. Use the number reported
when calculating latency for manual delay compensation.
Examples
◆ If there is only one plug-in on a channel, the total delay will
be the amount of plug-in latency + 2 + 3. (2 samples for the
one plug-in instance, plus 3 samples for the DSP routing to the
racks and back.)
◆ If you have two plug-ins on a channel or bus, the delay will
be plug-in #1 latency + 2 + plug-in #2 latency + 2 + 3. If plug-in
#1 has 12 samples of latency, and plug-in #2 has 15, total la-
tency will be 34 samples (12 + 2 + 15 + 2 + 3).
