Manual audio clip recording latency compensation

Forums

I think we had this topic once but I want to bring it into attention a 2nd time.

I have a complex setup with Insert/Send to external hardware and software. Its roundtrip latency cannot be determined by jack reliably. With LSP Plugins Latency Meter it's very easy to determine it.

It would be super cool if there was an entry in View->Options->Audio similar to ...

Applied offset (latency correction) for audio clips after recording:

[X] Automatic [ _] Manual (frames) (insert here the same ms display and latency input box as in insert sends)

overriden then,...

and this applies to ALL and every audio clip that gets recorded no matter where their tracks are fed (ie. an input audio bus), no matter the session, a global, absolute and permanent value that is...

is this correct? or better asked, is this what you really want?

It might make sense as a per session value, too, but I am afraid no-one would expect to find it in the session properties.

So I think it's safest as a global, permanent value.

in session properties would be the most suitable IMNSHO :)

also, now that we are at it, the following options should be provided:

  • None : disable latency calculation/compensation (not applicable to track/plugin's);
  • Auto : latency calculations are done as currently done (default);
  • Add : an additional number of frames is added to the default Auto computation (same value to all buses);
  • Fixed : a fixed absolute number of frames is set to all audio buses (this being the OP).

cheers

maybe the OP is a better approach, for the time being...

meaning that should not be installed as session properties but on global options instead, as designated originally.

though the above modal options should be provided, ntl.

sorry for the noise

nb. the 'None' mode option above is not implemented as it's functionally equivalent to 'Fixed' at 0 frames. ;)
