E.g. recordings from liveinputs.Recording Bus ReturnsWhen recording the output of an input strip taking an Aux or Bus return, for example to “freeze” a reverb track, therecorded media will be placed too early in the Timeline. In this situation it may therefore be desirable to designatethis Aux or Bus return as a normal Input in order to ensure correct time-alignment of the recorded clip.Note: For Power Users the SABR debug windows show the delay values applied to eachbus / aux node and may prove useful.Delay Compensation DetailAll digital processing takes a finite amount of time. When Internal Return Buses are used to route Aux Send orMaster output buses back into channel inputs (by selecting an Internal Return Bus input from the routing popupfor the Aux Send or Bus output, and selecting an Internal Return Bus output as the return channel input) allother buses not so routed must be delayed if the Mixer is to be ‘time-aligned’ I.e. If a signal is fed to two inputs, thefirst feeding the Main Output direct and the second routed back to an input via (say) an Aux Send bus with thereturn input strip routed to the Main Output, then the second will be delayed with respect to the first. SelectingSettings > Enable Delay Compensation from the mixer context pop-up menu will automatically ensure bothsignals remain in sync by delaying the signals directly routed to the Main Output by an amount equivalent to thedelay introduced by the extra processing in the second path.Note: For obvious reasons a strip fed by an Internal Bus or buses cannot be routed backto the same internal buses.Input Strip ModeIn order for Pyramix to correctly calculate the required delay you have to tell it which bus is the source for theInternal Return Bus. Clicking on Input at the bottom of the strip, above the XLR icon, pops-up a list of all the outputbuses and Input. Input is the default and means the strip is fed from a physical live input and no delay compensationis required. If any Internal or External Return Bus is ticked and Automatic Delay Compensation isturned on, Pyramix calculates the required delay and applies it to all Output buses not feeding a return bus.Delay vs. Delay CompensationMixer : Mixer Delay Compensation 10 - 179
