What’s New in Pro Tools 9.048
The Delay indicator’s report to Pro Tools Delay
Compensation Engine can be bypassed when
Delay Compensation is enabled. This is useful
for manually time-aligning a track when the to-
tal delay on a track exceeds the Delay Compen-
sation limit (for more information, see the
Pro Tools Reference Guide).
The display color indicates reported track delay,
as follows:
Green Indicates that track delay reporting is en-
abled and the track does not exceed the avail-
able amount of Delay Compensation.
Orange Indicates that this is the track reporting
the longest plug-in and hardware insert delay in
the session.
Red Indicates that the amount of plug-in and
hardware insert delay on the track exceeds the
available amount of Delay Compensation (for
more information, see the Pro Tools Reference
Guide).
Gray Track delay report is bypassed.
User Offset (+/–) Field
This field lets you adjust track delays manually
while Delay Compensation is enabled. The User
Offset is added to or subtracted from the
amount of delay applied by Track Compensa-
tion. The User Offset is useful for the following
cases:
• For manually time-aligning a track if a
plug-in is incorrectly reporting its delay.
• For adjusting the timing “feel” of a track.
The color of the values in this field indicate User
Offset status, as follows:
White Indicates that the User Offset is enabled
on the track and the User Offset compensation
value is applied to the track.
Gray Indicates that the User Offset is disabled on
the track and the User Offset compensation
value is not applied.
To change track delay using the User Offset field:
1 In the Delay Compensation View, click in the
User Offset edit field.
2 To set your delay value (in samples or millisec-
onds depending on your current preferences),
do one of the following:
• Enter a positive number (with or without
the “+” modifier) for a positive delay (later
in time) or negative number (with the “–”
modifier) for a negative delay (earlier in
time).
• Drag in the User Offset field to scroll to a
new value. For finer resolution, Control-
drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac).
• Press the Up and Down Arrow keys to in-
crease or decrease the numerical values.
3 Press Enter.
To bypass the user delay:
 Start-Control-click (Windows) or Command-
Control-click (Mac) the User Offset field. The
user-defined delay appears grayed out and does
not apply to the track.
Track Compensation (cmp) Indicator
This indicator shows the amount of Delay Com-
pensation Pro Tools applies to each track.
The display color indicates the amount of Delay
Compensation applied, as follows:
Green Track compensation is enabled and the
track does not exceed the Delay Compensation
limit. The amount of Delay Compensation
shown in the indicator is applied to the track.
