Currently automatic delay compensation is supported by the Steinberg 2.0 family
(Nuendo 2.x, Cubase SX 2.0, Cubase LE 2.0,), Magix Samplitude 7.x, and Sonar (using
the Cakewalk VST adapter 4.4.1), but not by Steinberg Cubase VST 5.1 and Cubasis.
The E-Delay Compensator utility plug-in is used to manually compensate for the
transfer delay for hosts that DO NOT support plug-in delay compensation.
The E-Delay Compensator plug-in is used to delay the “dry” tracks (tracks without a
PowerFX or E-Wire as an insert effect) or auxiliary (send) channels. For each dry track or
send, add an E-Delay Compensator plug-in to re-align the track. The E-Delay Compen-
sator is automatic and requires no user interaction to operate.
For example, consider a Cubasis session with two audio tracks. If PowerFX or E-Wire is
applied as an insert effect to the first audio track, but not to the second, the first track
will be delayed in relation to the second track. The E-Delay Compensator should be
added as an insert effect on the second track in order to provide delay compensation.
E-Delay Units Parameter
The Units value in the E-Delay dialog box should be set for the number of times you
send ASIO down to the PatchMix DSP mixer and back in a single track. A single
PowerFX insert chain with any number of effects only requires one delay unit because
there was only one trip to the hardware and back. If you use two Cubasis inserts in series
on a track both using PowerFX or E-Wire, you would set the number parameter to 2 on
all other audio tracks. Each trip down to PatchMix DSP and back to Cubasis equals one
unit.

E-Delay Compensator Use
For host applications that don’t support automatic
delay compensation.
1. An E-Delay Compensator should be used
when unprocessed audio tracks are played
alongside tracks using a PowerFX or E-Wire
plug-in.
2. Simply insert an E-Delay Compensator into
each track that doesn’t use a PowerFX or
E-Wire send.
