NOTE
Check the processor for the passage with the largest number of events playing
simultaneously to make sure that your system offers the required performance at every time
position.
Plug-In Delay Compensation
Some audio effects, especially dynamics processors that feature a look-ahead functionality,
may take a brief time to process the audio fed into it. As a result, the output audio will be
slightly delayed. To compensate for this, Cubase provides plug-in delay compensation.
Plug-in delay compensation is featured throughout the entire audio path maintaining the
sync and timing of all audio channels.
VST 3 dynamics plug-ins with look-ahead functionality feature a Live button that allows you
to disengage the look-ahead. This minimizes latency during realtime recording. For details,
see the separate PDF document Plug-in Reference.
To avoid latency during realtime recording or realtime playback of VST instruments, you can
also use Constrain Delay Compensation.

Tempo Sync
Plug-ins can receive timing and tempo information from Cubase. This is useful to
synchronize plug-in parameters such as modulation rates or delay times to the project
tempo.
Timing and tempo information is provided to plug-ins of the standard VST 2.0 or later.
To set up tempo sync you must specify a base note value. Straight, triplet or dotted note
values (1/1 to 1/32) are supported.
For details about the included effects, see the separate PDF document Plug-in Reference.
Insert Effects
Insert effects can be inserted in the signal chain of an audio channel. This way, the whole
channel signal passes through the effect.
In Cubase Elements, you can add up to 8 different insert effects independently for each
audio-related channel (audio track, group channel track, FX channel track, instrument
channel, or ReWire channel) or output bus. In Cubase AI and Cubase LE, 4 insert slots are
available for audio-related tracks. Also, ReWire channels are not available in Cubase LE.
NOTE
You can process mono audio tracks through stereo insert effects.
The signal passes through the insert effects from the top downwards:
