Re: Cubase, sorry I saw a forum last night and they were all griping at how pro tools was stuck back in the dark ages and cubase did this automatically. Guess I misunderstood what they were referring to. As I continue to research I’m seeing that offsets are the common workflow for outboard gear, not so much your main recording interface, but the gear connected to that interface (other analog gear). I’ve just been lucky or my ear hasn’t picked it up because it wasn’t this excessive. For pro tools the hardware inserts aren’t working (I’m thinking) because I don’t have anything connected to the FM3 aside from my monitors. You can’t set an offset for outputs 1 and 2 since those are the monitors and outputs 3 and 4 on the FM3 are for reamping I believe. On a standard interface with multiple outputs, you have to physically connect one of the other outputs to your extra gear beyond your interface, measure your offset, and then configure the offset for that connected output. If you are only using 1 interface, like an FM3 and nothing connected, H/W insert delays cannot be configured, only the track offset manual entry (*-2600). Is my thinking correct? Thanks for your confirmation on excessive latency, though. Hoping they can resolve that.
