Question

Hi everyone, having no external outboards, I have never been interested, but I would like to understand it anyway.

Without Pipeline XT (artist version) it is not possible to add analog hardware signal processors, did I understand correctly?  Or is it possible to add them (obviously with a card that allows it) and it only works as a plug-in that compensates only the latency of the signal from the hardware to the software?

Answer 1

Well, you sort of can.

1. Set the channel output from Master to actual output of your audio interface.
2. Add a new track and select the input of your track that matches the return from your connected outboard gear and record a new track.
3. Correct the latency manually. You can add a blip or some fast transient sound at the start, to line up the new track to it.

This is the option I use for demonstrating in the Artist edition with no PipelineXT

Answer 2

you have been very kind, I took away a great doubt, thank you very much.  so the Pipeline is basically just a plug-in that breaks down that latency.  thanks again, you have been very helpful
