Latency in u-he products

[justin3am]

But still, that's just a third of a millisecond... Can you really hear the difference?

yeah I can clearly hear the difference, it even throws off my songs since I use very fast tempos. I set up to 2 channels with it, laid a bass line down and panned each instrument left and right. One channel had delay compensation the other didn't.

Hmm... it sounds like there is something exacerbating the latency in your host then. I just ran a test in Pro Tools (which doesn't have latency compensation) and found that the latency introduced by Zebra is definitely inaudible. I typically run sessions at 192bpm and up so I don't think that tempo should make any difference. I'm not saying that you aren't running into a problem but there may be more to it than just the latency that Zebra produces.

Well ACE is the only plugin where I have issues with latency. When I set delay compensation in the mixer for the plugin things sound fine. I use FL studio btw.

well I just tried it in Renoise and it seems to be only a FL Studio issue.

speed of sound at STP is ~340 m/s so 1ms is the equivalent of being just over a foot away from the sound source. if this were an issue theres no way a band would be able to play together so theres gotta be something else going on here

edit: apparently I quoted your latest post without actually reading it I guess you've figured this out already

I can't hear the difference with 16 samples of delay with one track playing alone with others but if you clone the track and one have compensation and the other don't you'll probably hear a comb filter effect.

My host is Renoise and the auto PDC is workin great, I don't have any problem. My original question was why a 16 samples buffer was needed.
