appendix b
DSP Delays Incurred by TDM Plug-Ins
Virtually all TDM plug-ins incur some amount
of signal delay.
If you are working with mono tracks, or are pro-
cessing all channels with the same plug-in, the
signal delays are not long enough to be signifi-
cant and should not be a concern.
This signal delay is significant only if you use a
plug-in on one channel of a stereo or multi-
channel signal but not the others, since this can
cause the channels to be slightly out of phase.
Table 3 on page 108 shows the delays inherent
in each type of Digidesign TDM plug-in.
Pro Tools TDM systems provide automatic
Delay Compensation to compensate for sig-
nal processing delays. For detailed informa-
tion, see the
Pro Tools Reference Guide.
