Plugin, Routing Delay Compensation - Automatic?
Hi,
I think in modern DAWs we don't think much about this because most DAWs apply plugin delay compensation automatically, and you have to actually disable it when you don't want it in effect.
But what about routing related delay?
Say I have some track and in routing I set to 4 channels. Say I set up an EQ on channels 3-4. Then I have a send for the track going to a reverb, where track channels 3-4 are what are going to the reverb.
When audio is actually played back, are things automatically sync'd such that raw unprocessed track output is being mixed with the reverb applied to channels 3/4?
I ask, because I want to avoid phase issues, especially since I have an audio track being summed with a wet return that was processed on an EQ'd version of the original track.
And this also makes me wonder - and maybe this should be separate thread: In what cases should we use track channels versus just using additional tracks and setting up routing so that end effect is like a track channel?
thanks!
