Latency in Returns with UAD

Post by ScottV » Thu May 12, 2011 8:34 pm

This has been an ongoing problem for me and I want to provide as much information as I can so it can be resolved in the future.

Here's my setup.

Audio Track
Return: Ableton Filter Delay
Return: UAD 250 Reverb

If I only have the audio track with the Filter Delay then everything is on time. As soon as I add the UAD 250, the filter goes off time-- even if it's not being used.

I'm not sure if UAD is not sending information to ableton or something else is going on.

I will contact UAD regarding this also.

I just got off the phone with UAD and we tested some othern (non-UAD) reverbs to see if the same problem occured, and they did. So this isn't a UAD specific issue. Any suggestions Ableton?

In mixer/session view switch "Monitor" to off on the channels
your sending from. It's probably in auto now.

Just out of curiosity, how should that help?

Can't give you any specifics as to why, but it
solved "Return Latency" issues for me.

98% sure it'll do the trick for ScottV

My pleasure and glad to know it was the solution for you.

That said, someone ought to do something about this. I'm
pretty sure this is an issue for a lot of people who just
gives up on returns. It should default to off or be better
described.
