• The return signal is likely to be slightly behind the send signal in time, indicating some
amount of signal-path latency is present. You will compensate for this time using the
Offset value. You can turn the knob, or enter a value directly to set a positive Offset
value that will bring the return signal back in time to align with the send signal on the
scope.
• As you move the knob or set a value, the signal path will be automatically pinged
again, and the scope will update to provide instant feedback on the calibration.
• You can also click on the Difference button to see the difference between the send
and return signals. The smaller the waveform becomes (less amplitude), the more
aligned the signals will be. This is also helpful for matching send and return levels.
Once you have the correct Offset value established, you should store a preset, as described in
the next section.
When Ping is disabled, the real-time send and return signals are displayed. Using the Sense
fader, it is possible to trigger the display to only update based on detected transients. For
instance, you may want to see how the kick and snare drums are lining up from a drum-bus
channel, and you'd want to avoid having the scope display the entire signal all of the time. To
do this, move the Sense fader to the right until the only the transients you want to see—in this
case a kick or snare hit—are displayed.
13.11.4 Storing Pipeline Presets
Once Pipeline has been configured for a particular piece of hardware, you should store the
setting as a preset so that the configuration can be recalled at a later time, as with a virtual-
effect preset. Any number of presets can be stored, which allows you to recall configurations
for any number of hardware processors. These presets will appear under the Pipeline effect in
the Browser, just like a preset stored for a virtual effect.
If you create new I/O channels in the Audio I/O Setup while configuring a Pipeline preset, be
sure to click on Make Default before exiting the menu. This will ensure that the required I/O for
that Pipeline preset is available in every Song and Project.
Normally, you would use only one instance at a time of Pipeline with a particular I/O
configuration. However, it is possible to insert the same Pipeline preset on multiple channels,
in which case the signal from each channel will effectively sum at the specified output, and
that summed signal will return from the hardware processor to every channel simultaneously.
While this might lead to interesting possibilities, exercise caution, as levels could easily
become excessive.
