To compensate for delay that exceeds the
compensation limit, do one of the following:
 If the Delay Compensation Engine setting in
the Playback Engine is set to Short, change the
setting to Long.
– or –
 If the Delay Compensation Engine is already
set to Long, do the following:
• Bypass the reported delay for the track by
Start-Control-clicking (Windows) or Com-
mand-Control-clicking (Mac) the Delay in-
dicator. The track information is grayed out
once it is bypassed.
– and –
• Manually nudge any audio data on the
track earlier by the amount of delay re-
ported in the track’s Delay indicator.
Low Latency Monitoring During
Recording
When an audio track is armed for recording (re-
cord-enabled), TrackInput-enabled, Destructive-
Punch-enabled, or punched in, the track’s Delay
Compensation is automatically suspended (and
the Track Compensation indicator displays 0).
This reduces monitoring latency on those track
outputs. When the track is played back (with
both record-enable and TrackInput disabled) it
is correctly time-aligned with the other delay-
compensated tracks.
Tracks that are not record-enabled still apply De-
lay Compensation. Pro Tools automatically
compensates for any timing discrepancies be-
tween the recorded material and the delay-com-
pensated mix.
Overriding Low Latency
Monitoring During Recording
You can override Low Latency Monitoring Dur-
ing Recording on record-enabled tracks, but this
may introduce latency in the signal path corre-
sponding to the amount of Delay Compensa-
tion. This latency may be acceptable depending
on the recording source. For example, in certain
“non-performance” workflows, overriding Low
Latency Monitoring During Recording ensures
that delay compensation is applied consistently
regardless of whether a track is record- or punch-
enabled, or whether Pro Tools is recording or
playing back.
To override Low Latency Monitoring During
Recording on specific record tracks:
 Command-Control-click (Mac) or Control-
Start-click (Windows) the Track Compensation
indicator. Delay Compensations is applied to
the track and the Track Compensation indicator
displays in blue.
In certain dubbing workflows you may want
to cascade bus recordings to multiple tracks.
In these cases you should be sure to override
Low Latency Monitoring on the recording
tracks.
Command-Control-Shift-click (Mac) or
Control-Start-Shift-click (Windows) the
Track Compensation indicator to override
Low Latency Monitoring for all selected
tracks.
Command-Option-Control-click (Mac) or
Control-Alt-Start-click (Windows) the
Track Compensation indicator to override
Low Latency Monitoring for all tracks.
