Bus latency offset solution (plugin)?
Hello recording buffs, I'm having a typical problem for me, but am about to publish and am being driven crazy: My drum bus has a ton of effects and is lagging behind the song...and it's the drum bus. Question: is there a plugin that anyone knows of that will offset the lag on that bus? Something I could put at the end of the FX chain? Have been scouring forum posts and kvr for hours with no good leads... Thanks

Maybe bounce the drums (FX and all) to a new stereo track. Then Archive the original drums (and disable their FX) temporarily. The bounced stereo drum mix track will be zippy - shouldn't be any lag at all.

Could be that one of the plugins on your drum bus isn't reporting the correct latency. Make sure you have Plugin Delay Compensation turned on (Button up towards the top labeled "PDC"), then try Voxengo Latency Delay. It's a free plugin that can help correct timing issues when a plugin isn't reporting the correct latency to the host. HTH, -Jon

Thanks so much all. I don't think it's a latency issue with the recording - although it could've been as I recorded the song with an M-audio Delta 44 (just switched to a new Focusrite 18i6, which has done way more for me than I expected). I'm going to try the Voxengo plugin...we'll see. Otherwise I'll just have to deal with the slight timing imperfections...I'm not a drummer either way.

Yes! It worked! The voxengo plugin did it, just needed to compensate for .8 ms or so... Thank you

If all plugins are reporting latency properly and assuming PDC hasn't been globally disabled, you should not be experiencing any lag/latency when routing to a bus (or otherwise).

Yeah...I don't know what the original issue was exactly. I recorded the audio years ago when using Sonar 1XL, mixed and applied FX in Sonar 8.5, and when I opened it up for mastering in Sonar Producer X1 there was an obvious bus lag that I couldn't correct because most of the tracks and FX were frozen years ago and don't correspond to the same FX...pretty annoying. But the Voxengo plugin completely solved the issue for me so all's well.

I've got a similar issue.
I've got a master Bus which is receiving audio from my Virus TI and Session Drummer. I've got midi going to my outboard Virus C.
All plays nicely during playback but when I record a mixdown into X2A the playback sync is all over the place. Any ideas as to why?

Sometimes with softsynths I have to uncheck the fast mixdown option and bounce down in real time, also uncheck use 64-bit engine. These two options have at times saved bounces that otherwise were problematic (I always uncheck those options for final mixdowns now).
