CHAPTER 9 UAD Delay Compensation Latency & Delay Compensation When UAD Powered Plug-Ins are used, audio data to be processed by a Powered Plug-In is sent by the host application to the UAD card. The audio is then processed by the UAD card and sent back to the host application. This backand-forth shuffling of audio data is called “buffering” and it produces a latency (delay) in the audio signal being processed. Latency is inherent in digital audio systems and it can be detected in certain situations. Latency time in a DAW is usually determined by the sample rate and audio I/O interface device driver buffer size settings. If this latency is not compensated, the processed audio will not be perfectly synchronized with unprocessed audio. Fortunately, most audio plug-in host applications automatically compensate for this latency when plug-ins are used on track inserts by simply turning on the “Plug-in Delay Compensation” (PDC) or similar Preferences setting. Many hosts even provide “Full Plug-in Delay Compensation” throughout the entire signal path, including sends, groups, and buses. UAD latency and plug-in delay compensation is managed automatically by host applications that implement plug-in delay compensation. Additionally, latency can be reduced to undetectable levels in the UAD-2 by bypassing host buffering altogether (see “LiveTrack Mode” on page 78). Host PDC Implementation Table 6 on page 91 lists the current implementation of plug-in delay compensation in the officially supported UAD host applications. The displayed version number is the version in which PDC was implemented; higher versions also have PDC. Important: Delay compensation is fully automatic and requires no user intervention when UAD Powered Plug-Ins are used in hosts that support “Full plug-in Delay Compensation.” UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 90 - Chapter 9: UAD 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 Delay Compensator plug-in (“UAD Delay Compensator” on page 92). UAD Delay Compensator should not be used in situations where the host application provides delay compensation automatically, such as on track inserts. Some host applications provide fully automatic delay compensation throughout the entire signal path. UAD DelayComp is not needed at all in such hosts (see Table 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 101. For information about using UAD Powered Plug-Ins on audio tracks while simultaneously running MIDI tracks, see “Live Processing” on page 101.
