spenidng money on a plug-in to add what is considered basic DAW functionality is a bit ridiculous in this day in age.

It's unfortunate that you have to pay to have delay compensation in LE, but at least it's possible now.

Klaatu.. Barada.. Nikto..
On the bright side its probably still cheaper than a Delay Compensation Toolkit would be from Digi...

¯\(°_o)/¯ How do Lydian?
not sure I get it really ... I mean I get it but ...
I never really have a problem with plug-in delay unless I'm using something like drumagog and maybe its just a difference in working but usually with something heavy like that I I'm not running it as a real time plug that is constant. What I mean is, if I'm gonna use something like drumagog to replace tom hits, I'm usually bouncing the files to a new track anyway, so I can go through each tom section and adjust the plug-in parameters depending on whats needed (input/output/sensitivity/etc...) I may need to adjust settings several times or more so I'm basically bouncing to "replace" track for each tom section. Afterwards I just select all on the replace track and shift back the amount of samples its delayed ... everything is then lined up. But thats only for something like that, just using a couple of plugs on a bass track lets say ... I usually have a Renn EQ/Comp/and maybe something else as needed in my plug chain but I never notice any latency problems ...
Am I missing something obvious or is this really only for the people who use several heavy plugs like drumagog and keep them inserted into their tracks the whole time?
and yes, I'm using PTLE ... 6.9

I don't always trust auto compensation. If I do it myself, I know it's right.
Maybe I'm just paranoid...

you don't need that plugin, just watch these videos and learn how to do it yourself.

I'm in the same boat, actually...I have yet to actually notice any latency issues caused by inserts that I regularly use.

People complain too much about LE. It's a "Home Edition", people. Look at it like this... Pro Tools LE is like a 4-Cylinder Mustang, whereas HD is the GT with the big V8, and depending on how far you take it, you can go to the Icon Systems, which would be like a Shelby GT 500. Now, sure... LE still looks good, carries the name with dignity and all that, but it's basically for beginner's and minimal "pro" use. You don't hand a 16-year-old the keys to a brand new Mustang GT do ya? (If you do, you should be shot.) Same theories apply. The GT, like HD, has all the wanted power, speed, and efficiency needed for someone with the required experience to handle it. (Especially when it's coupled with a Mac
) LE is the less expensive version. It's not going to have all the bells and whistles.
It would not make me rethink it. Plugin Latency Compensation is NOT why people buy HD man. Matter of fact, IMO, it would be one of the less important reasons. If you want to go "pro", you get HD. That isn't going to change. Oh yeah... Don't be surprised if this is one of the plugins that does not initially work with the wrapper. Just throwing that out there.
