Occasional Inserts greyed out

[LeVzi]

When I reopen a project in 6.5.4 sometimes there is an insert that is greyed out and I cannot enable it.

At first I thought it was down to IKM’s dodgy authorisation manager but now it’s doing it with my waves plugins too.

Any ideas on how to fix this ?

Disable - or even better: Read up and learn the background on the “constrain delay compensation” function.

So you mean when PDC is turned on or off, plug-ins are disabled ? Well certain ones. Ones with or without latency ?

Is it all explained in the manual ?

Thanks for your help.

PDC is not turned off, but constrained

certain ones, lying above the set threshold, and depending on where in the signal path they are.

@LeVzi

Yes, it is.
If you still have questions, after (really) reading the manual, ask again.

If you only want to disable it, without learning anything about it - it´s the button that looks like a clock top left in the toolbar (that way, you can see if it is really the problem - until now it´s just a guess).

Thanks, it was disabled as I was recording in some MIDI, I must have forgotten to turn it back on.

I just didn’t know it disabled plug-ins that went over a certain latency

It also depends on what type of channel the plugin is on.

I think they are all on group channels. Maybe some on the instrument itself, I can’t remember offhand.
