how much delay compensation(m.s) needed using H/W inserts in PROTOOLS HD2 ?

666don · 27th May 2007

hi!
anyone out there who can specify how many milliseconds to enter in I/O hardware insert section, for example inserting a pair of analog compressors on a drum bus?.

all this with short or long delay compensation engine enabled on a protools 7.1 hd 2 running on a mac g5

all tips/ experiences are welcome
thanx alot

You don't enter anything it compensates it for you.

Buss the drums over to an aux channel and insert your compressors on that channel.

As long as ADC is turned on, and none of your plugs are showing red numbers in the bottom of the mixer window, all should be compensated for correctly. Short vs. Long may come into play depending on cpu/time intensive plugs.

The i/o offset amounts you can put in are for things like digital outboard that introduces its own latency -- I've had experiences with certain Apogee gear that reported a different amount of conversion delay than what PT was expecting, and the offsets helped.

Otherwise, you're good to go, and it's pretty sweet!!! =)
