Voxengo Latency Delay, Sound Delay and Stereo Touch free audio plugins update

[Aleksey Vaneev]

August 7, 2013: Updated Voxengo Latency Delay v2.3, Voxengo Sound Delay v1.5 and Voxengo Stereo Touch v2.6 freeware audio plug-ins are now available for download. These plug-ins are available in AudioUnit and VST plug-in formats (including native 64-bit support), for Mac OS X (v10.5 and later), and Windows computers.

These are the maintenance updates that fix rare crashes.

Latency Delay and Sound Delay now feature the "quick entry" field for fast delay value entry. Sound Delay's maximal overall delay time was increased from 3 to 12 seconds.

Voxengo Latency Delay



Latency Delay is an auxiliary AU and VST plugin which allows you to compensate latency produced by any audio plug-ins, instruments and processes which produce latency but do not try to report it to the host. Latency Delay introduces 10000 samples latency itself and delays the audio signal by 10000 minus the specified amount of samples or milliseconds. Please note that audio host application should support the latency compensation itself for this plug-in to function properly.

Voxengo Sound Delay



Sound Delay is an auxiliary multi-channel signal delaying AU and VST plugin for professional audio applications. You may specify delay time in both milliseconds and samples, with a high level of precision. This plug-in - being technical in its purpose - provides a basic signal delaying function only, without signal feedback or modulation capabilities.

Voxengo Stereo Touch



This professional audio AU and VST plugin implements a classic technique of transforming a monophonic track into spacious stereophonic track by means of mid/side coding technique.

Stereo Touch is most effective on monophonic sounds without overly sharp transients: it works great for both acoustic and electric/overdriven guitars, synthetic pad sounds and even vocals. By means of this plug-in you can easily get spacious and even "surround" sounding tracks, without utilizing a double-tracked recording technique.

Hi Aleksey, is it possible to have a negative delay in both Sound and Latency Delay?

[Ploki]

why would you have negative delay in latency delay?
just add a normal delay

Hi Aleksey, is it possible to have a negative delay in both Sound and Latency Delay?

Sound Delay and Latency Delay are each others opposites. Hence why there are two virtually identical plugins.

We don't want negative delay in Sound Delay because then that too gets huge latency added like Latency Delay has (and must have due to how it operates).

[Lesha]

The use case is when the audio is lagging behind the video so they are out of sync. I would like to simply determine the delay and input it every time I need it. I know I can do it in Ableton Live, but is there a plugin that can do it?

[Ploki]

Yes, latency delay.
The amount of latency(time) you specify will delay everything else for that amount, that’s the whole point of it.

Also Melda mutility has the same functionality.

[Aleksey Vaneev]

I would suggest getting PHA-979 for a negative delay.

[Lesha]

Thanks, I will have a look.

[Ploki]

But if you add latency delay, the audio will get pulled back by the amount you specificy in the plugin?
How is this different than "negative" delay?

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to say. Did you ever try to sync audio and video?

Negative delay is pushing sound forward (earlier) to my understanding.

Backwards to be precise, so it indeed starts earlier.

+/- 20 ms are the max values? There are cases where the sound is offset by 300 ms.

yeah and how can it do that? by reporting latency - there's no other way in a DAW, you can't playback something sooner where it is unless you play it "in front".
which is what latency delay does. when you set it to "100ms" it will play everything 100ms earlier in relation to everything else

yeah but never by adding inserts.

if you add "negative" delay, the plugin reports latency (same amount as the "negative" delay) and plays it back without latency, which is what latency delay does.
unless video playback is not latency compensated, but then a "negative" delay won't work either because it works on the same principle.

[tonymax]

is it possible to have on different channels this plugin that then 'talks' to each other and monitor delay and compensate automatically or at least visually help you set delay?
thanks

edit: found mautoalign... seems to work for me.. audio in from a TR-8S, need to compensate for some delay to battery 4 adding to get more punchy drum and kick.. cool...
