UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 102 - Chapter 9: UAD Delay Compensation
Important: The following sections about delay compensation apply only
when using hosts that do NOT implement full plug-in delay compensation!
Depending on the host application implementation, the delay compensation
feature may not provide automatic compensation when UAD Powered Plug-
Ins are inserted on sends, groups, or buses. In this situation, the solution is to
use the UAD-1 Delay Compensator plug-in (“UAD-1 Delay Compensator” on
page 103).
UAD-1 Delay Compensator should not be used in situations where the host
application provides delay compensation automatically, such as on track in-
serts. Some host applications provide fully automatic delay compensation
throughout the entire signal path. UAD DelayComp is not needed at all in
such hosts (see T
able 6).
These explanations of delay compensation apply primarily to playback only.
For more information about using UAD Powered Plug-Ins for live performance
and during recording, see “Live Processing” on page 113.
For information about using UAD Powered Plug-Ins on audio tracks while si-
multaneously running MIDI tracks, see “Live Processing” on page 113.
