Some effects introduce a delay which can cause tracks to go out of sync.Automatic Delay Compensation (often called Plugin Delay Compensation or PDC) automatically compensates for the effect's delay.Automatic Delay Compensation is available in:
- Tracks that are in playback mode. The delay is compensated if it is 10 ms or more.
- Group and Master sections. The delay is compensated if it is 1 ms or more.
- Effect Return sections. There is no minimum delay here.
- Multi Effects, Stereo Effects, Parallel Effects, and Mid/Side Effects loaded in the aforementioned mixer sections. There is no minimum delay here.
- MultitrackStudio Instruments (in playback mode).
- The Output mixer of VST/AU plugins with multiple outputs.
Delay Compensation is NOT available in:
- The Sidechain box of sidechaining effects (Dynamics etc.).
- The instruments in the Multi Instrument (the effects do have PDC).
