To enable/disable live input PDC override
• Do one of the following:
• Click the Live Input PDC Override button in the Control Bar’s Mix module.
• Press SHIFT+E.
Figure 66. The Mix module.
Delay compensation is enabled/disabled on all live input tracks in the project. All other tracks have
normal delay compensation applied.
Some signal routings can cause tracks to be out of sync when Live Input PDC Override is enabled.
To prevent any potential sync problems, follow these suggestions:
• Output the live input tracks directly to the final bus in the signal flow.Send live tracks directly to a
hardware main.
PDC re-sync
Some plug-ins, such as iZotope Ozone 4 and various UAD plugins, change their internal delay
(PDC) dynamically when certain parameters are modified, presets are changed or internal plug-in
routing is changed. When a plug-in changes its internal delay, SONAR will detect this and re-sync all
tracks in the project to this new delay value. While this is done you may hear a momentary
interruption in playing audio. This is normal and required in order to keep tracks in sync and delay
compensated.

Note: If the live track being monitored also contains track data (or MIDI data in the case of a
synth track), the streamed track data will not be delay compensated. As a result the recorded
track data will not be in sync with other tracks. You should either mute any clips on the live tracks,
work with an empty region of the track, or use an entirely new track while recording.
