TL Space Supported Plug-In Formats

TL Space is available as TDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite plug-in formats depending on your Pro Tools system and version of TL Space.

HTDM plug-ins are not supported in Pro Tools 7.0 or higher. Use the corresponding TDM or RTAS plug-in instead.

TL Space TDM Edition includes all plug-in formats. TL Space Native Edition includes RTAS and AudioSuite plug-in formats only. The characteristics of each plug-in format, including maximum reverb time, sample rate support, and latency are shown in the following table:

 

 

Plug-In	Format	DSP	Maximum Reverb Time (sec)	Maximum Sample Rate (khz)	Dry Latency (Samples)	Wet Latency (Samples)
TL Space Short	TDM	HD	1.1	48 kHz	3	1029
TL Space Medium	TDM	HD Accel	2.3	96 kHz	3	5
TL Space Long	TDM	HD Accel	3.4	96 kHz	3	5
TL Space	RTAS	—	10.0	96 kHz	0	480
TL Space	AudioSuite	—	10.0	96 kHz	—	—

Latency and TL Space

Latency is a function of how Pro Tools processes audio and is typically measured in samples. The latency of each different mode of TL Space is shown in the table below. Latency is displayed in the Mix window for each track in Pro Tools TDM using Delay Compensation view.

Near zero latency on HD Accel is ideal for recording live, as TL Space latency is kept to five samples or less. RTAS plug-ins have more inherent latency. However, for some users latency is not critical and RTAS plug-ins may lend themselves to post production environments with a requirement to switch seamlessly in real time between reverb snapshots.

Regardless of the plug-in format, Pro Tools TDM 6.4 or higher can compensate for any latency automatically on playback using Pro Tools Delay Compensation.
