Viewing Channel Delay and TimeAdjuster

Because plug-ins display their delay values in the channel delay indicators, this can be used as another method for determining delay compensation.

To view time delay values and use TimeAdjuster to compensate for the delay:

1 Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac) the Track Level Indicator to toggle between level (that appears on the display as “vol”), headroom (“pk”), and channel delay (“dly”) indications. Delay values are shown in samples.

2 Apply the TimeAdjuster plug-in to the track whose delay you want to increase, and Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac) its Track Level indicator until the channel delay value is displayed for that track.

3 Change the delay time in TimeAdjuster by moving the Delay slider or entering a value in the Delay field, until the channel delay value matches that of the first track.

4 Test the delay values by duplicating an audio track and reversing its phase while compensating for delay.
