Input Delay Compensation
Input Delay Compensation maintains phase
alignment across Console’s analog and digital inputs
when certain UAD plug-ins are used. See Input Delay
Compensation in Console for a complete explanation
of this feature.
When enabling Input Delay Compensation, it’s
usually best to start with the Short value (100
samples) to minimize latency. The default value is
Medium.
Note: Changes to this setting do not take effect until the DAW is quit.
Input Delay Compensation Exceeded Dialog
A dialog will appear in Console if the compensation amount is exceeded on a channel. If
this occurs, either increase the IDC value or reduce the number of upsampled plug-ins in
the channel to maintain phase alignment.
Tip: For the lowest possible latency if not using multiple inputs for a single
source, turn Input Delay Compensation OFF. Input Delay Compensation and phase
alignment is only important when multiple Console inputs are used for a single
source (such as a drum kit using multiple microphones).
Devices Column
Note: The Devices Column is typically used only when
more than one Universal Audio audio interface is
connected to the system.
This column lists all Arrow and Apollo audio interfaces in the
system. It has four primary functions:
1. Selects current unit to see device-specific options
2. Designates the monitor unit in multi-unit setups
3. Indicates which unit(s) are currently online
4. Adds devices for offline configuration
Select Device
Clicking a unit in the column reveals its device-specific settings in the Options Column.
