Hello! I have a very weighted project and need to record an electric guitar. I pressed “Constrain Delay Compensation,” but it disabled a lot of my FX plugins, including my guitar AMP FX. Is it possible to use Constrain Delay Compensation for all tracks except the selected track?

I’ve been wondering about this as well. Following.

That wouldn’t make sense since latency compensation isn’t something that can be done per track. I’d be surprised if an amp sim has enough latency to be affected by CDC, but you can play with the CDC threshold setting to see if that helps exclude it.

Adjusting the threshold usually works pretty well for me. I would try that one first, it’s the easiest way.
In case this doesn’t help: You can work with makros and disable all inserts on selected tracks. But that’s a more drastic measure. I would take that strategy as a last resort.
All my Neural DSP amp sims are affected. STL too.

The same thing, I am using Neural DSP and don’t know how easily and fast fix this problem with latency, because CDC disabled it.
As a variant you can record guitar with low latency with the next steps:
-
Open a Mix conosle (F3)
-
Make a snapshot, rename it to something like “Everything is ON“
-
Activate Constrain Delay Compensation to see which FX plugins create huge latency.
-
Delete these FX plugins that made a delay from all inserts (excluding guitar FX plugins that you need for recording, like Neural DSP). Do it until you will have a comfortable latency.
-
Disable Constrain Delay Compensation and make a new snapshot, rename it to something like “Everything is OFF“
-
Done! Now you can record a guitar with low latency and after revert everything to “Everything is ON“ snapshot.
The Neural DSP plugins have about 1.5ms latency, so just turn up the CDC threshold a little bit and you’ll be good. You’ll be able to play your guitar with low latency and hear your amp sim plugins.
