Well, originally when you had a hardware synth using normal analog outs there would be a delay in the sound from the synth into the sequencer depending on what rate your soundcard was set. Now you could use the audio track in direct hardware mode and the sound would be in sync but you wouldnt be able to put any effects on that track so it was a bit of a trade-off. They seem to have found a way around this here with delay compensation, very impressive, very happy
edit: actually this might just be cubase sx3.1s new external hardware delay comp....ive never used it before

be nice if someone from Access could clarify? Does the TI software delay compensate on the hardware outputs in sequencers that support delay comp???? Or is it just the USB outputs that have this?
