Thank you.
IĀ“m still on C5, and was under the impression, theyĀ“re the same in both versions. So I checked the C5 multiband, the C6 plugin PDF and a youtube video on the C6 multiband, and neither shows a āliveā button, so I got couriousā¦
It was the Multiband compressor that caused the latency. But I was not able to locate any Live button.
But I turned it off and used EzMix plugin instead without any latency.
That is done automatically in Cubase all the time: Automatic delay compensation.
Everything is delayed so that thew total delay between different tracks is 0 and everything is in sync. But overall total latency is increased to the value of the plugin with the highest delay.
Constrain delay compensation does the opposite: lowering the total latency by disabling the Plugin (delay compensation) for Plugins in the direct recording / monitoring / signal path, according to certain rules explained in the manual, as Split already poinrted out.
Constrain Delay compensation, either switches off the plugin to eliminate the delay causing plugins or if on an FX channel, ignores the reported delay, so that plugin will now sound late by the amount of samples itās processing takes.
Cubase normally operates with full plugin delay compensation on everything, unless you engage the CDC button.
