Plug latency even when using analog output ???s

I could compensate by setting a delay on the track itself (most host let's you do that). But it would be easier to do it on the plug itself.

Currently my routing is ti analog outs to mixer (audio doesn't go thru the host).
But if I want to record the analogs outs of the ti, the latency won't be the same anymore, as this time it goes thru my audio card, so I would have to re-adjust each track again.
By letting the user set the delay reported to the host, this would require a single setting change (on the plug).

it is not that easy. the latency reported to the host has nothing to do with the problem. if there would be an easy solution to all that which doesn't require work on the hosts as well, we would have made use of it.

Hmm, then how do you explain this:

This is the audio received from the ti analog outs thru my rme 96/32 (using 128 buffer sample + the 32 "safety" buffer).

The first track doesn't use live mode, the ti reports about 3000 samples delay to the host (C4). (note that we have much less than 3000 samples, could be due to a cubase limit ??).
In the second track, Live mode is this time enabled and the ti plug reports 512 samples to the host.
For the third track I removed the plug and sended the midi directly to the ti driver.

In this case, when using the plug, it would be nice to set manualy the delay to report to the host, no need to set up each track.

mike,

i appreciate your effort in showing us how things look in terms of latency. i know that all - since years. if there would be an obvious and easy solution, you might imagine that we would have implemented it by now. unfortunately, to explain to you in deep why your idea doesn't work, would require me to give away intellectual property which we prefer to stay with access only.

best, marc

I can set a delay in my digital mixer so the analog out is in sync.
When I play 'live' I switch to other output without the delay.
When using external instrument in cubase, you can use the standard moddelay (without the mod offcourse). The delay compensation of extrernal instrument doesn't work in sx3.

This doesn't help you with a analog mixer though
