Do DAWs compensate for latency?

[ashcat_lt]

I was thinking in real-time, automatically, like the DAW compensates..... .....doesn't that ^^^ work after the audio is recorded?

Yeah. I thought we were talking about recording??? For live work maybe use something like a trance gate that opens briefly on the beats. If you don't hit on time, you don't get heard!

Yes...recording.....automatic timming comensation as the audio is going into the DAW.

Maybe there already is some kind of "auto-quantize AS it's being recorded" option in some DAWs....like if the bass player is x milliseconds out of the preset "pocket"...it pulls those notes in automatically/randomly....???

Just an amusing thoughtr considering all the autotune stuff.
I still track to tape...no auto-anything there.

Record latency controls

Here's where you control record latency in Reaper (at the bottom of the window):



Here's the record offset control in Sony Vegas 6 (which I adjusted manually for the picture):



Normally you can leave those on the automatic setting, but I have had to adjust them manually with some interfaces.

BSG...I don't know if that ^^^ was in response to my previous post....or to the thread in general.

I was only joking around about automatic "player" compensation.......but yeah, I know DAWs do latency compensation on the fly.

Not in response to you, just general information.
