The additional latency values, in samples, of UAD plug-ins with additional latency are listed in the tables below for the benefit of users with plug-in host DAWs that do not perform automatic delay compensation.įor related information, see the “Latency & Delay Compensation” chapter in the UAD System Manual, and the “Latency & Apollo” chapter in the Apollo Software Manuals. Note: Compensating for the additional latency from these UAD plug-ins is performed automatically by the host software application (DAW and/or Apollo’s Console) when the latency delay compensation function is enabled in the host.Īlthough the latency added by these UAD plug-ins is negligible (typically between 0 – 100 samples, depending on the plug-in and session sample rate), if this extra latency is not compensated, it can affect phase coherency in a session. Therefore, they require more compensation to remain perfectly synchronized with other tracks, versus UAD plug-ins that do not have additional latency. When these plug-ins are used in a DAW and/or Apollo’s Console, the additional latency is induced in the signal path.
Some UAD plug-ins introduce additional latency within the plug-in itself (in addition to hardware I/O buffering latency) to achieve sonic design goals.
