Group Properties Window: For Organization and Latency Alignment
This window allows you to group several Racks together. Racks often have something in
common, and it may make sense to assign all of these similar Racks to a group. Grouping
all of the channels of your brass section, or drums, or audience, then assigning these
groups a color, helps you to keep track of Racks in concert situations. Also, each rack will
display the name of the group, further aiding quick visual organization.
Plug-ins may impose a delay (known as “latency”) as signal passes through them. Often,
this is not a problem. However, there are times you will want to time-align all of the Racks in
a group, to compensate for different processor latencies that may cause phase-related
problems.
Use the Group Properties window to create groups of
Racks and align their latencies. Open this window from
the pull-down menu located at the top of a Rack or from
the Edit menu.
You can also open this window from the Edit menu (Ctrl/Cmd+G).
In the Group Properties window, you can create up to 16 processing groups, each of
which can contain any number of Racks.
Create a group by double clicking on a Group Name cell and typing the name you want to
assign the group. Now, decide how you want to align the processors within the group.
