Typical Delay Scenarios
Below are some typical delay scenarios that
you may encounter in a Pro Tools session.
The more complex a session becomes, the
greater the TDM delay factors may become.
Once you know the delay for your session,
set the Nudge Value to that amount (in
samples) and nudge the affected regions to
compensate for the delay.
Example 1, Pro Tools 24 System
A bus-based TDM bounce with no Plug-Ins
adds 8 samples of delay:
◆ Track 1 routed to Bus 1-2, with pan set
<100 = 2 samples
◆ Through Bus 1-2 Mixer and back out to
TDM = 3 samples
◆ Record to Track 2 with input set to Bus 1
= 3 samples
Total: 8 samples
Example 2, Pro Tools 24 System
A slightly different bounce adds 11 samples
of delay because it involves use of a Send:
• Track 1/Send 1 (post-fader) routed to Bus
1 = 5 samples
• Through Bus 1-2 Mixer and back out to
TDM = 3 samples
• Record to Track 2 with input set to Bus 1
= 3 samples
Total: 11 samples
Example 3, Pro Tools 24 MIX System
A bus-based TDM bounce with no Plug-Ins
adds 10 samples of delay:
◆ Track 1 routed to Bus 1-2, with pan set
<100 = 2 samples
◆ Through Bus 1-2 Mixer and back out to
TDM = 5 samples
◆ Record to Track 2 with input set to Bus 1
= 3 samples
Total: 10 samples
Example 2, Pro Tools 24 MIX System
A slightly different bounce adds 14 samples
of delay because it involves use of a Send:
◆ Track 1/Send 1 (post-fader) routed to Bus
1 = 6 samples
◆ Through Bus 1-2 Mixer and back out to
TDM = 5 samples
◆ Record to Track 2 with input set to Bus 1
= 3 samples
Total: 14 samples
