Delay that Exceeds the Compensation Limit

When the total delay on a track exceeds the total available amount of available Delay Compensation (selected in the Playback Engine dialog), no Delay Compensation is applied on that track. Any audio on that track will no longer be properly time-aligned and will be out of phase. Both the Delay indicator and Track Compensation indicator turn red to show that the track delay exceeds the Delay Compensation limit. The maximum available Delay Compensation is applied to all other tracks.

However, you can manually compensate for delay on tracks that exceed the Delay Compensation limit.

To compensate for delay that exceeds the compensation limit, do one of the following:

If the Delay Compensation Engine setting in the Playback Engine is set to Short, change the setting to Long.

– or – 

If the Delay Compensation Engine is already set to Long, do the following:

Bypass the reported delay for the track by Start-Control-clicking (Windows) or Command-Control-clicking (Mac) the Delay indicator. The track information is grayed out once it is bypassed.

– and – 

Manually nudge any audio data on the track earlier by the amount of delay reported in the track’s Delay indicator.
