Latency Groups - Waves SuperRack SoundGrid User Manual

Latency Groups

A latency group is a collection of racks whose delays are controlled together, whether for latency compensation or
group delay. Assign racks to latency groups using the Latency Groups drop-down menu in the Top Bar or the Patch
Window, Latency Group page.
Align all Racks Together Latency compensation is calculated across the entire session; all racks are time-aligned
together. Latency for the entire session is calculated based on the rack with the greatest latency.
Align by Latency Groups Several racks can be combined to form up to 16 latency groups. All of the racks in a
latency group are time aligned with each other, so that when their signals return to the sound card or interface, they
are all in sync. There are, in addition, two modes within the Align by Latency Groups setting. Latency groups can be
delayed so that racks can be sent to specific I/Os and their delays controlled.
Align by Latency Groups offers two modes for managing each latency group. Choose between these modes in the
Patch window (Patch>Latency Groups).
Auto mode calculates latency compensation dynamically. Rack latency adjusts to match the delay of the plugin in
the group with the highest latency.
Manual mode lets you set a specific delay for the group. Latency will never go above or below the specified
value. You cannot insert a plugin if it will result in this latency value being exceeded. To manually set a group's
latency value, toggle the Auto/Manual button to Manual. Double-click on the value box to enter a number.

Plugins and racks can be aligned to one common latency or assigned to latency groups. This
is selected in the Settings page.
