Plugin Delay Compensation

I've been searching anywhere but I can't find the answer, is there a way to MANUALLY compensate for plugin delay in MuLab? I know there is no automatic PDC, but as long as there is a way to manually compensate I really wouldn't mind.

Yes using the "Pure Delay" module you can set an exact delay time in samples. Also note that via a VSTs context menu (its MU context menu) -> "Show Info" you can see the VSTs process delay time. These two methods combined allow you to do manual PDC. Note that the Pure Delay currently (=M6.4.18) is a mono module so you need a Stereo Splitter + 2 such delays + Stereo Combinor to do stereo. This can be saved as a preset for fast recall. In the next MuLab and MUX Modular 6.5 the Pure Delay also has a stereo mode, which obviously simplifies things.

Sweet that'll work.
One more question, is there a way to offset tracks negatively? I.e instead of having to make a bus that delays all the tracks that don't have a delay inducing plugin, you can just play the track that has the delay inducing plugin early. I'm assuming the answer is no, but I have to ask.

Am I missing something or is it not just a case that you move the relevant tracks that have a delay to a slightly earlier position ?
Bearing in mind I am missing a whole lot after seeing the recent feature request by Taron concerning the MFO

Imagine an FFT based equalizer with a 4096 sample delay, it's not that simple to pre-delay tracks exactly on 4096 samples. Current solution is to delay all other audio so finally everything syncs.
Just as info: Maybe at some future development point there will be APDC. I already have basic ideas about how to do it. Could match the architecture.
