Hi!
I only seem to get consistent results if I check "zero latency during analysis". Is this intended behaviour in ProTools HD?
Also spectral phase compensation sounds bad and phasey on everything I tried it on...
Best,
Peter

Hi Peter,
I think the help says it all:
Zero latency during analysis makes all the plugins in the group report 0 latency when the analysis starts and put it back again afterwards. This is useful for hosts, which do not report correct timing info to the plugins when a plugin with latency is used. So basically leave this disabled and if you feel like things are not working properly, turn it on. Note that it makes a difference only if the plugin is actually having latency, typically when spectral phase compensation is used.
As for phase compensation - it really depends on the settings, the signal and what you expect from it. It can sound phasey in many cases. But it is great as an alternative to LP EQ for example - it can revert the phase change of an EQ etc. But generally I found that it cannot work if the phase it too different - if you have 2 signals with completely unrelated phase signals (which is actually quite common), it cannot work without rather noticeable artifacts. That's why it is disabled by default after all.
