UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 54 - Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins
The compensation value to use depends on the session sample rate. Use the
following values to compensate for Precision Equalizer latency when using it
on track inserts or buses.
Precision
Equalizer
Group/Bus
Example
Situation: You have a song with bass, drums, guitar, and 4 string tracks. You
want to change the EQ for all the strings so you put the string tracks on a
group/bus and apply one instance of Precision Equalizer to the string bus. Re-
sult: The string tracks play late in relation to the other instrument tracks.
Solution: Send the output of the unprocessed instrument tracks (but not the
string tracks or the Precision Equalizer return) to a different group/bus, and
put one DelayComp with a Plugs value of 1 and a Sample value from Table 4
on page 54 on this group/bus that contains the dry non-string tracks. If you
put 2 Precision Equalizers stacked in series on the string bus, the unprocessed
bus DelayComp Plugs value would be 2, and the Sample value would be
twice the chart value.
Compensating for Precision Multiband
The Precision Multiband requires a large processing buffer to perform its
sonic wonders. This buffer results in a significantly larger latency than other
UAD plugins. This is not normally an issue because the Precision Multiband is
designed to be used for program material on the output bus, where latency is
not a consideration. However, if the Precision Multiband is used elsewhere in
the signal chain AND the host does NOT automatically compensate for la-
tency at that point in the signal chain, the latency must be manually compen-
sated.
Important: Compensating for Precision Multiband latency is not required if
the host application supports full plugin delay compensation throughout the
entire signal path, or when it is used only on the outputs. See “Host PDC Im-
plementation” on page 46.
