Question

I use the funtion in Cubase all the time.

The function is for Software Monitoring.

It bypasses all plugins that have a positive latency above a given latency that´s adjustable in preferences.

For example: If you play guitar via a amp simulation plugin and have a maximizer or compressor with lookahead in signal chain you have a delay that is caused by the plugins.

The function in cubase is named constrain delay compensation it is a clock in parantheses.

Every time I want to record midi or audio I press the button in cubase and after that again to have all plugins in the signal chain.

I miss this function in S1.

Here the screenshots from the funtion in Cubase:

Thank you for the feature request. 

If anyone else agrees or disagrees, then please vote it up, or down. 

To vote:

In agreement click on the little blue triangle pointing up.

In disagreement click on the little blue triangle pointing down.

The developers pay close attention to those that are voted on the most. 

You are allowed one vote. 

Just viewing and agreeing but not clicking on the vote does not help the issue. 

Please click on one or the other.

If you'd combined this with the idea of being able to group inserts, you might be able to toggle on/off the group by the press of a button (while some plugins stay active).

Also you could combine it with the "Modes" feature request which allows you to set the entire DAW (Song) into "Tracking" , "Mixing" or "Guitar Recording" mode, and then to turn on and off Insert Groups as you want them to be set in that Mode.

@MarkyGoldstein

Grouping of Inserts is not the same!

This Latency Bypass only bypasses plugins above a given latency.

In all audio chains! You don´t have to look which plugin causes latency.

I use this function for years in cXXXX ....

What about it?

Answer 5

@ Zirrex answer: Ignore Plug-in latency entirely disables the plugin delay compensation which is different than constrain delay compensation. Constrain delay compensation disables/deactivates only plugins that exceed a latency threshold and ONLY on channels that are armed for record, instrument channels, group channels and output channels.

So when you set the threshold to 1ms and your song has a few look ahead compressors in it that introduce 1.2ms latency and a few EQ's that introduce 0.8ms latency, the compressors will be temporarily turned off (if residing on the aforementioned type of channels) when constrain delay compensation is enabled.

It's a pretty nifty and helpful feature for recording within busy projects.
