Delay Compensation Settings
There are three settings in the Playback Engine
dialog for dedicating DSP resources for Delay
Compensation:
None Allocates no DSP resources for Delay Com-
pensation.
Short Allocates minimal DSP resources of Delay
Compensation for each channel. This is the
most efficient setting for Pro Tools|HD Accel
systems.
Long Allocates maximum DSP resources of De-
lay Compensation for each mixer channel. Long
Delay Compensation uses the same DSP re-
sources used by high DSP overhead plug-ins.
To configure the Delay Compensation Engine:
1 Choose Setup > Playback Engine.
2 From the Delay Compensation Engine pop-up
menu, select a Delay Compensation setting.
3 Click OK.
The Delay Compensation status will be saved as
a session and system preference.
Delay Compensation View
The Delay Compensation View displays the to-
tal amount of plug-in delay on each track, lets
you apply a user offset of track delay, and dis-
plays the total amount of delay that Pro Tools
applies to each track. The Delay Compensation
View can be shown in the Mix Window.
To view Delay Compensation information:
■ Select View > Mix Window > Delay Compen-
sation.
Delay Compensation Time Mode
Delay values can be specified in either samples
or milliseconds, as selected with the Delay Com-
pensation Time Mode option in the Display
Preferences page. This option is only available
when Delay Compensation is enabled (Options
> Delay Compensation).
