leaves it - i.e. it affects the delay time. The compensation controls allow you to make up
for this, so the delay time you specify is the one you actually get.
Note this is not the same as the latency usually meant by “plug-in latency” in DAWs,
which refers to the internal latency introduced by a given plug-in. In the case of Augustus
Loop’s fx loops, the latency is introduced by the host’s buffering of plug-in inputs and
outputs. This latency will typically be small, and is not worth worrying about overly un-
less you need exact tempo-synced delay times. Often it is an amount that you can specify
in your DAW - e.g. in Ableton Live, the setting is under the CPU section of the Preferences.
The menu to the right of the Enable button offers three choices for the latency compensa-
tion:
• Auto: The plug-in uses a latency figure guessed from information supplied by the
host app.
• Off: No latency compensation is applied.
• Manual: You can specify exactly the compensation you want via the ‘Latency’ knob.
Setting up your DAW for Fx Loops
Ableton Live
The image to the right shows how to config-
ure the routing in Ableton Live to use
Augustus Loop’s fx loops.
The track named ‘Augustus’ is the track on
which the plug-in is inserted. The regular
inputs and outputs (1&2) operate on this
track.
The other two tracks are the fx loop tracks.
By inserting plug-ins onto these tracks, you
can apply processing to the audio within
Augustus Loop.
Current Limitations
Unfortunately using the fx loops with the following features will most likely result in
audio glitches, unless the input to the plug-in is silence:
• Reverse
• Tap Record
These issues may be resolvable in a future update. As ever, the more people we hear from
who say this is important to them, the higher priority will be assigned to it.
