Hi there,

I'm a recently returned DP3 user with a G4 450mhz system (yes I know what year it is

So everything is working great.. but studio is currently in disarray as i reconfigure things to work with my networked MOTU MTC AVs (16 in / 16 out woot!)

my question though is that I would like to be able to record dry performances into the DP3 DAW and then using the 828 route that dry audio out to outboard effects I have and record them back into the song..

It seems like it would be fairly straightforward but then I get to thinking about latency and wonder if DP3 would be smart enough to somehow compensate for the new latency (sound leaving the 828.. then through an effect and then back into the 828 on a new track.

I'm looking forward to experimenting with it but thought I'd ping the experts here to see what people think.

Thanks!
Caleb

I dunno about DP3, but I found this reference for DP4.5:

Automatic plug-in latency compensation is found in Digital Performer 4.5, and is enabled by default.

To manually enable or disable it, go to Digital Performer’s Setup menu > Configure Audio System > Configure Studio Settings.

I wonder if that is helpful?

EDIT - also found a reference saying latency compensation was introduced in DP 4.5, so you may need to do it manually via nudging in DP3.

I used this search to find that:

There may be more nuggets in that list.

that is helpful about the DP 4.5 introduction.. and yes I imagine that nudging the audio manually would not be the worst problem to deal with.

I'll read through that article as well, as it does seem very relevant to the software/hardware at hand. I love SoS stuff.

Thanks a lot! I look forward to experimenting with it.

Sincerely,
Caleb
