Perhaps somehow related to my other, recent post concerning AUX Sends, I’m having a problem when it comes to induced plugin latency being compensated for in general, -but NOT AUX Send automation.
Here, with no plugin latency on the “DM Kick Signal Bus”, the AUX Send automation to that bus works as expected, and sends the signal onwads:
However, if I add sufficient latency there (-in this example 500ms), which supposedly is compensated for throughout the project, the AUX Send automation essentially doesn’t then ‘catch’ the signal, and thus does not send it to the DM Kick Signal Bus. -Pay attention to the lack of fader signal, bottom-center:
Also, if I loop that one transient and slowly apply the latency from 0->500ms with my mouse, I can hear how that slope of the automation towards the front affects the sent signal, lowing it slowly to -infinity. It’s as though the track’s regions are shifting/being compensated for, whilst the AUX Send automation is staying put.
So, any obvious explanation/cause/solution here I’m not seeing?
I tried with other plugins that induce latency, and the problem persists…
(-Using only Ardour 6.9.0, by the way. -Perhaps these problems have already been addressed in later versions? I’m hoping it’s actually just my configuration that’s the problem.)
Thanks
