Hello,

I purchased the whole SR bundle.

The problem is that all the SR plugins are producing a lot of latency in the channel that are added. I don’t have this problem with any other plugin.

I’m on Protools 2018.04 on MacOS 10.13.5

Thanks  
Alex

Hey Alex!  
Sound Radix plug-ins benefits from digital world advantages. “knowing” the future (by adding latency) is part of it. I’ll do my best to explain each product in that regard:

- POWAIR, uses latency as superior lookahead for compression and leveling.
- Drum Leveler, uses latency for best possible detection.
- Auto-Align, provides latency to allow adjusting things also back in-time.
- Pi - uses latency lookahead to optimize **all** tracks.
- SurferEQ - uses latency for accurate pitch-detection.

btw, SurferEQ has `LIVE` mode that allows you to get it to run in lower latency.

Sound Radix plug-ins would work best on systems with proper delay compensation.  
As you’re using Pro Tools, make sure Delay Compensation is turned on -
