Timing strange when recording bus

Post by GWJen »

If I assign a track output to a bus, and assign that bus to an input on another track, and then record the bus, The recorded audio is approx 5 seconds later than the original. Delay compensation is on. No effects. 1024 buffer, internal sync with 424 card.

What, and you can't work with a 5-second delay? :boohoo: :wink:

It helps if you include your machine's specs and which version of DP you're using. Something is obviously wrong. Try a restart and see if that sets things straight.

I'm glad to know it's not supposed to do that! I'm using DP 7.22 on OS 10.5.8
Before I came across this I was testing the delay compensation with UAD-1 effects (one track with UAD-1 and the other with MOTU fx), reverse the phase and see how well the nulled...down to -121 dBFS. Anyway, I kept the same "project" but positively deleted all fx before trying the bus record timing test. I will try it again from scratch.

Well I opened a new project and repeated the test and the timing issue was gone. I even repeated the UAD-1 test, then deleted those plug-in instances as I had last night, and then repeated the bus timing test. Timing was fine. I will keep an eye on this because I didn't imagine it.
