Damnit... Now I notice a latency while I record...

[AudioPhile777]

This sucks...

in PTLE, how do I compensate for the latency without manually sliding the tracks?

I'm doing vocals now, so putting everything in low latency mode doesn't really help as I have tons of plugs going on... I'm running vox through my 4040 and my toneport>s/pdif into PT...

any help would be great...

You said you have tons of plug ins going, I would feeze as many plugins as posible while tracking and only use them for mixdown.

 

[cobhc]

Yeah, I'd say track without any plugs.

I always use low-latency monitoring w/ the buffer at 512 or 1024 on PT LE, so I don't monitor through plugins on record-enabled channels while tracking.

Monitoring through plugs while tracking can be bad if the input/converter clips. Because the metering is post-insert by default, you wouldn't know be able to see it in the PT mixer. You would have to watch the input meter on the 1st plugin's window.

What are you using the TonePort for, the preamp models?

if the plugs from non-vocal tracks are bogging things down, you could always bounce the instrumental mix to disk, then load it into a different session and track the vox and import into the original session. or you could also do the same thing, but load the instrumental mix into the same session, and freeze all the rest of the tracks.

Yep. Freeze or render tracks with alot of plugins. I usually just render them into the mix and mute the original. On my recording platform if its muted then it doesnt suck cpu cycles. The freeze un feeze command takes a while. Render is alot quicker on my program. Others may be different

 

[AudioPhile777]

yeah... i've just been working on these sessions forever and the track count is pretty limited, so I may have to track the vox in another session...

I knew this already, but thought there might be another way around it.

Thanks everyone.

I know this is a dumb question but it is on subject. How do you freez tracks on pro tools LE?

It's so simple in cubase, but now

You can disable tracks dynamically, which frees up tracks... but I'm not sure how cubase's freeze function works...
