In short. Been hearing good things about tracktion. Seen I could get the waveform ultimate package for $100. Grabbed it as I've been wanting a switch up of my daw (mix of studio one 2 and caustic). Just to throw it out there. Not a pro by any means. But know my way around every major daw.
But my problem. Have spent the last 3 days getting accustomed to tracktion. Spent an entire day trying to find a way to adjust settings in the sampler to only come up there is no other options. Went from there to setting up a proper drum machine. Sampler is far too basic. Figured I could set up a rack. Will take longer but no biggie. I set up 4 samplers, each housing a drum hit. Route the midi though to each. Goes from sampler to pitch shift so I can tune individual drum sounds, to volume and pan then out to main. But, when I use the pitch shift it throws that chain off. Like say if I add it to only the kick, the kick takes almost a full 1/16th note to play, sounding like I added a swing.
To get to my question. Is this common? I now fear if I start using waveform seriously that any tracks I add specific plugs to that that specific track will he delayed in audio. Have never dealt with this. Lag in general sure. But never just specific tracks. Is there anything I can set to fix this. Thanks in advance for any help

Does the lag only happen when adding the pitchshift plugin? Is there a lag introduced when adding other effects like eq or compression?
My guess is that pitchshift isn't a zero or near zero latency effect. I did a quick search for low latency and zero latency pitchshifters and found others looking for them without luck. What's happening to you sounds like a situation I had with Sonar and an iZotope RX plugin. When I played the track back the plugin created so much latency that the track was out of sync, but if I rendered the track it played back fine. Some plugins just aren't meant to be played through live. If you mixdown your track does it playback correctly?
