E-Delay Compensator Use - E-Mu 404 Owner's Manual

6 - Working with ASIO
E-MU VST E-Wire
The E-Delay Compensator utility plug-in is used to manually compensate for the
transfer delay for hosts that do not support plug-in delay compensation.
The E-Delay Compensator plug-in is used to delay the "dry" tracks (tracks without an
E-Wire as an insert effect) or auxiliary (send) channels. For each dry track or send, add
an E-Delay Compensator plug-in to re-align the track. The E-Delay Compensator is
automatic and requires no user interaction to operate.
For example, consider a Cubasis session with two audio tracks. If an E-Wire is applied as
an insert effect to the first audio track, but not to the second, there will be a time delay
between the first and second tracks. The automatic delay compensation in E-Wire
should seamlessly realign the tracks do remove the delay. For the hosts that do not
support this feature, the E-Delay Compensator should be added as an insert effect on
the second track in order to provide the automatic delay compensation.
A host will support E-Wire's plug-in delay compensation if it supports the SetIni-
tialDelay feature of the VST 2.0 specification. Current versions of Cubase (Cubase SX,
Nuendo) are among the hosts that do support the "SetInitialDelay" feature.

E-Delay Compensator Use

For host applications that don't support automatic
delay compensation.
An E-Delay Compensator should be used
1.
when unprocessed audio tracks are played
alongside tracks using an E-Wire plug-in.
Simply insert an E-Delay Compensator into
2.
each track that doesn't use an E-Wire send.
