TL Space and System Performance
This section describes TL Space and system performance.
TL Space Supported Plug-In Formats
TL Space is available as TDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite plug-in formats depending on your Pro Tools
system and version of TL Space.
TL Space TDM Edition includes all plug-in formats. TL Space Native Edition includes RTAS and Au-
dioSuite plug-in formats only. The characteristics of each plug-in format, including maximum reverb
time, sample rate support, and latency are shown in the following table:
Latency and TL Space
Latency is a function of how Pro Tools processes audio and is typically measured in samples. The la-
tency of each different mode of TL Space is shown in the table below. Latency is displayed in the Mix
window for each track in Pro Tools TDM using Delay Compensation view.
Near zero latency on HD Accel is ideal for recording live, as TL Space latency is kept to five samples
or less. RTAS plug-ins have more inherent latency. However, for some users latency is not critical and
RTAS plug-ins may lend themselves to post production environments with a requirement to switch
seamlessly in real time between reverb snapshots.
Regardless of the plug-in format, Pro Tools TDM 6.4 or higher can compensate for any latency auto-
matically on playback using Pro Tools Delay Compensation.
HTDM plug-ins are not supported in Pro Tools 7.0 or higher. Use the corresponding TDM or RTAS
plug-in instead.
