What is the easiest aux send pdc workaround?

The only way I know how to workaround the lack of PDC in aux sends is to put a compensator plug on every other track. I've heard some mentions of working around this using a rack filter, but I haven't seen any explanation on how to do this...can anyone enlighten me?

In case it is a product-specific solution, it is my Powercore plugs that require pdc.

the easiest way is to use modulrs senderella. just take care that you have the returns on tracks after their sends. it produces no latency at all.

Thanks aldi, to clarify it's actually the Powercore plug-ins that are producing the latency, T's aux sends produce no latency either, the problem is that they don't compensate for the latency of the Powercore plugins...Unfortunately Senderella won't accomplish this either...

ah, ok. so after you know what the latency of your powercore plugin is (maybe from an other vst host or with testing), you had to put a delayplugin set to that time on all tracks (also on the one with the auxsend but after the sendplugin) exept the auxtrack with the powercore plugin (i guess). voxengo had a good freebe for that. it isn't that much of work, because you can copy it once setup.

Insert the plug on the return track as usual, then r-click -> "wrap this filter in a new rack"

The filter will be moved to a rack, and replaced with a rack filter: copy this rack filter to each send track (post fader is usually best) and set all the wet levels to 0 and the dry levels fully up.

You can now use the sending racks' "left input level" slider (with the "link inputs" option on) to control the send amount for each track.

Thanks IIRs, that sounds like exactly what I need. This should be copied word-for-word into the User's Guide...
