I have just installed Cubase 14, which is working well apart from a latency issue that I’m having. There’s probably a simply fix for this but the owner’s manual just confuses me. CAN somebody help me out and tell me how I can fix problem !
The most common reason for a high latency are plugins, e.g. Limiters. If you are curious which tracks have a high latency open your mixer window and have a look at the buttom end of the track:
If you use Control Room and have some plugins inserted into the control room inserts then that can cause real latency - depends on the plugin. I had to remove the plugin from the control room insert - just turning it off wouldn’t get rid of latency. OSX.
As already answered to your old thread, turning off removes latency, bypass does not.
If you bypass a plugin, the signal is still going through the plugin, only the output isn’t switched. Turning bypass on and off doesn’t force the engine to recalculate the latency, but the to disable a plugin means turning it off completely.
The implementation of the bypass is in the responsibility of the plugin vendor. Super Vision is an excellent example. It has no bypass. But you can disable it. That is implemented from the host.
The plugin window offer both functionality, disabling and bypass side by side…
Proof?
Open the plugin window, deactivate the plugin and show the latency measurement.
The mixer doesn’t offer the deactivation as a button. You need to use the plugin window or the ALT/OPT switch.
I don’t know about Streamliner, but here Metric A|B only reports one sample of latency, which isn’t really noticeable.
And if I disable high latency plugins on the control room, the latency definitely goes down (I do that regularly with wit constrain delay compensation, as I have Sonarkworks on it, which has ~17ms latency).
Do you maybe have multiple control room channels active and still some other plugin with latency on another channel? Because the latency of the control room is determined by the channel with the highest latency, even if that channel is not active. This is on purpose because it makes switching between different CR channel seamless.
