Hi. > LADSPA plugins report their latency, and Ardour compensates. Your VST> plugins probably don't report any latency. I am pretty sure, that VST's have a build-in method to report their latency. I remember such a thing in the VST- SDK a long time ago and Paul Davis stated the following comment in the Ardour forum..... "reuben, actually VST has the [latency reporting] mechanism, and its LADSPA that sort of doesn’t. Steve Harris and I came up with a kludge solution for LADSPA (an output control port called “latency”), and a few other LADSPA developers supported it. in VST, its a host->plugin callback called getInitialDelay()."(source: http://ardour.org/node/761) > Try inserting the "Artificial latency" plugin from the swh-plugins mhmmm... that doesn't work. However, the latency of the swh plugin gets compensated like it should be. I tried several VST- plugins and always had the same problem. So it seems not to be a problem of a certain plugin. best,sebastian. _______________________________________________Linux-audio-user mailing listLinux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
