Hi Lunatic 77
This post below touches on the issue of plug-in delay compensation and external instruments. It might be of some help to you.
Unlike ‘External Effects’ that have a ‘ping’ adjustment process to sync with the final plug-in delay compensation of the project, there are adjustments in the VST Connection External Instruments on an instrument by instrument basis … but no ‘road map’ of how to calculate the values.
I concluded that while you can properly calculate a value from simultaneous recordings of audio and midi tracks, if you latter alter your plug-ins in the project such that your end latency is either reduced or increased, the values will then be off and you’ll have to recalculate them.
I asked in another post if Cubase reported the total plug-in delay compensation value in the project, but no one responded. If you knew this value from the project it would be an easy fix to adjust your original setup … provided of course you knew that value from the project when you did your syncing.
