delay compensation in sx3

| Hey guys I just learned about something in sx3 that I had never used until now and that is delay compensation. For the example I'm only using Battery 2 and the Ti. Everything stays in time except that anything I have bounced to audio is slightly off from whatever is still in midi (vsti's or the Ti). The vsti's actually play 12 ms before the audio or something like that. So as long as I adjust the compensation 12 ms it seems fine and dandy, but I have to do this for every midi track.....Is there a way i can just adjust all midi tracks to be 12 ms ahead?? Thanks and I hope this makes sense. |

| I didn't know you could do this per midi track, I've just been doing it to my External Instruments by pressing F4, how do you do it to individual tracks? |

| Are you talking about external instruments like the TI being out of sync? SX3 lets you send out an audio ping and handles the compensation automatically after that. Much more accurate than fiddling with channel delays. Just use the external instruments feature as mentioned in the post above. |

if you have more midi tracks than audio tracks, why not rather set the audio tracks to play 12ms later?
I don't know how it is with the TI, because of all the total integration stuff and that, but the way I do things is that I usually add 10ms compensation to the midi tracks that "play" my KS4, then when I want to bounce to audio, I momentarily change compansation to 0ms, bounce, and turn comp. back on, and then the recorded audio track will in in sync.
Another way, is to put 10 comp. on the midi tracks playing the TI, then putting 10ms delay on the monitoring/recording track. When the TI is played live by midi, the delay is not added, but when you record, the delay compensates for the compensation (haha :)) of the midi track.
I hope this made some sense, but again, I don't know how your equipment is set up, or how the Virus is integrated into the whole thing. I just hope this gives you some ideas to solve your problem. |

ok ignore the fact that i mentioned the Ti. Its only that anything audio and midi are not the same. By selecting the track you can change the delay compensation in the upper left. But lets say i have 10 vsti (or midi) tracks and 10 audio tracks...i do not really want to go through and put 11.75 ms delay on all vst tracks..I would rather just set it universally if i could . Like say, "Make all Audio tracks 11.75 ahead"
here is a post i made on another forum maybe it can help. It is hard to explain.
"""well they stay in sync but they are a tiny tiny bit off....do this comparison. Using just a snare and kick bounce your kick track to audio and leave your snare in Battery. You will see it is different then when both sound were just in Battery. If you go on to bounce the snare track to audio you will then see they are the same again. It is the difference between midi and audio tracks. Its a very tiny bit but important to me. They do not go off sync just 11.75 ms off to be exact hehe...(on my system)..Maybe its due to soundcard or something im not really sure but i wish i knew.""" |

It's due to your Audio Buffer Latency. Turn it down in your Asio Controll Panel. It's all about finding the sweet spot, not too high that delays noticable, and not too low that sound starts to crack&pop.
Now where do you set delay compesation per track? Is it called "off set"? |

| you select your track...then you have to have 'show inspector' enabled...its right under there (top left) called 'delay'. there are 3 sliders for volume, pan and delay. |
