Harrison Labs MIXBUS V2.0.2 - Manual (Page 22)

Latency Compensation
Some plug-ins, particularly complicated FFT-based plug-ins that use techniques such as convolution, can require
significant latency (time delay) from the input to the output. This can cause problems if the delayed signal is mixed
with a signal that is not delayed. A long delay can cause the tracks to sound "out of time", while a very short delay
can cause comb filtering. Mixbus can automatically accommodate plug-in and insert latencies for you. To do this,
Mixbus delays the non-affected tracks to match the track with the longest latency. Please be aware of these facts:
• Tracks can accommodate "unlimited" latency by buffering the audio from disk earlier than it is needed.
• Mix Buses are limited to 8192 samples of latency compensation. If the total latency of all plug-ins in a Mix Bus
exceeds 8192 samples, then a time offset will occur.
• "Buses" created with the Add Track/Bus dialog (we call these "utility buses") do not support latency compensa-
tion.
Inserts are also latency-compensated if they are inserted on a track or Mix Bus. Please see "Insert->Measure
Latency", below.
Plug-in Manager
The Plug-in Manager Window provides a rich set of controls for managing your installed plug-ins, and making them
quickly
available
when
needed.
• Fav: If this column is checked, the plug-in will appear in the "favorites" shortcut in the redirect menu.
• Hid: If this column is checked, the plug-in will NOT appear in the "by creator" or "by category" shortcut menus
• Search: the search bar allows you to instantly find plug-ins by Name,
Type, Category, Author, Library, Favorites or Hidden properties
• Add: This will add the selected plug-in to the list at the bottom.
Continue adding plug-ins to the list if you'd like to add more than one
plug-in at a time.
• Remove: This will remove the selected plug-in from the list at the bot-
tom.

Tip: You should always use the
Search bar when looking for a plug-
in. Just type the first few letters of the
name of your plug-in, and your plug-in
will be sorted to the top window instantly.
