Pre-Anticipation (Lookahead delay) controlThis parameter changes the integration time for RMS detection and thus changes the effect of the DRC circuit.The delay setting here also determines the delay that will be applied to signals passing through the plug-in NOTnot be selected for processing when Delay Compensation is switched ONNote: Please note that this parameter delays the all signals running through the BusTools plug-in, so phase or other timing errors may occur when the plug-in is used inplaces other than the mix bus.EQ and Output SectionsThese are identical to the Strip Tools versions.It is worth noting that, since the Limiter is in this case a brickwall design, the Automatic Gain Make-up functioncompensates for the same amount as the value set by the Threshold Control of the Limiter. The resulting signalwill be close to, but never exceed 0dBfs. If Gain Make-up is Off the Output Level Control will act as a ‘ceiling’ control,setting the absolute level of the resulting output signal.Delay Compensation / Pre-AnticipationExample5.1 Surround Mix Bus using two Bus ToolsChannel BUS 1 BUS 2 BUS 3 BUS 4 BUS 5 BUS 6Routing L C R SL SR SWInstance 1 IN OUT IN OUT OUT OUTDelay 8,71 (PA) 8.71 (DC) 8,71 (PA) 8.71 (DC) 8.71 (DC) 8.71 (DC)Instance 2 OUT OUT OUT IN IN OUTDelay 5.8 (DC) 5.8 (DC) 5.8 (DC) 5.8 (PA) 5.8 (PA) 5.8 (DC)Total Delay 14.51 ms 14.51 ms 14.51 ms 14.51 ms 14.51 ms 14.51 msIn this table Bus Tools Instance 1 is IN circuit for the Left and Right channels of the mix and Bus Tools Instance 2 isIN circuit for the Left Surround and Right Surround channels. For the Center and Sub-Woofer Channels both BusTools are OUT of circuit. BUT Pre-Anticipation and Delay Compensation is switched ON for the channels selectedfor processing. To ensure proper time alignment all channels are automatically delayed by the same total amount.(the 8.71 and 5.8 figures are arbitrary)If all channels are selected for processing (in circuit) with linked Pre-Anticipation then there is no need to activateDelay Compensation.Strip and Bus Tools : Delay Compensation / Pre-Anticipation 15 - 290
