Duende User Guide Page 13 of 29 Most host applications automatically com pensate for t his latency by simply t urning on th e Plug-in Delay Compensation (PDC) o r s imilar, usually found in the application s preferences. Some hosts even provide full plug-i n delay compensation throughout the entire s ignal path, including sen ds, groups, and buses.
Duende User Guide Page 14 of 29 Compensating for latency in P ro Tools LE and M-Powered Because Pro Tools LE a nd M-Powered do not feature PDC it must be done m anually when Duende plug-ins are used.
Duende User Guide Page 15 of 29 Any tracks tha t have a smaller lat ency th an the maximum must also be d elayed b ut by a smaller amount (i.e. tracks with 1 Duende plug-in wh ere the maximum has 3). Th e delay value for these will be maximum latency minus the latency reporte d by that track.
Duende User Guide Page 16 of 29 This m eans that you ca n ge nerally use up to 2 Duende plug-in s per cha nnel without con sidering latency issues, but this will depend on the buffer size set in Pro Tools, the sa mple rate and which Duende plug-ins are loaded.
