Chapter 9: UAD Delay Compensation

Live Processing

The previous discussions of delay compensation applies primarily to play-
back and mixing of existing tracks. During recording (tracking), the primary
concern usually centers around getting the absolute lowest possible latency
out of your hardware and software combination. The lower the latency is, the
closer you can get to a realtime, “ears match the fingers” performance situa-
tion in the digital environment where some latency is unavoidable.

Realtime latency is displayed in the System Information panel (

page 52

)

within the UAD Meter & Control Panel application.

Live processing latency is determined by the audio interface I/O buffer size
setting. The lower the buffer size, the lower the latency.

UAD-2 PCIe

LiveTrack Mode

UAD-2 PCIe devices use an advanced buffering architecture that delivers no
additional latency when tracking by using LiveTrack Mode. See

“LiveTrack

Mode” on page 75

for details.
