Currently automatic delay compensation is supported by the Steinberg 2.0 family

(Nuendo 2.x, Cubase SX 2.0), Magix Samplitude 7.x, and Sonar (using the Cakewalk

VST adapter 4.4.1), but not, unfortunately, by Steinberg Cubase VST 5.1, Cubase LE

and Cubasis.

The E-Delay Compensator utility plug-in is used to manually compensate for the

transfer delay for hosts that DO NOT support plug-in delay compensation.

The E-Delay Compensator plug-in is used to delay the “dry” tracks (tracks without a

PowerFX or E-Wire as an insert effect) or auxiliary (send) channels. For each dry track

or send, add an E-Delay Compensator plug-in to re-align the track. The E-Delay

Compensator is automatic and requires no user interaction to operate.

For example, consider a Cubase VST session with two audio tracks. If PowerFX or E-

Wire is applied as an insert effect to the first audio track, but not to the second, the first

track will be delayed in relation to the second track. The E-Delay Compensator should

be added as an insert effect on the second track in order to provide delay compen-

sation.

E-Delay Units Parameter

The Units value in the E-Delay dialog box should be set for the number of times you

send ASIO down to the PatchMix DSP mixer and back in a single track. A single

PowerFX insert chain with any number of effects only requires one delay unit because

there was only one trip to the hardware and back. If you use two Cubase inserts in

series on a track both using PowerFX or E-Wire, you would set the number parameter

E-Delay Compensator Use

For host applications that don’t support

automatic delay compensation.

1. An E-Delay Compensator should be used

when unprocessed audio tracks are played

alongside tracks using a PowerFX or E-Wire

plug-in.

2. Simply insert an E-Delay Compensator into

each track that doesn’t use a PowerFX or

E-Wire send.
