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 multichan-
nel signal but not the others, since this can
cause the channels to be slightly out of phase.
Table 3 on page 28 shows the delays inherent in
each plug-in.
Pro Tools systems provide automatic Delay
Compensation (and other methods) to com-
pensate for signal processing delays. For de-
tailed information, see the

ence Guide
