Strange delay when tracking.

[Igotsoul4u]

Hello. The other day when I was doing some tracking, the vocalist asked me if i had some sort of effect on her voice. I went out and listened to myself speaking into the mic and it sounded like there was some sort of delay happening. I don't really know how I got rid of the delay but it went away. I thought it was a isolated incident but it happened again yesterday. Has anyone had any thing like this happen before? I had the icon setup like this: Cue 1 was on taking it's source from the main outs and the TB was assigned. I totally could have been doing something stupid and we have a intern that messes around in the room, but I was mid-session and could not trouble shoot as thoroughly as I normally like to. Anyway. If anyone has had this happen due to an Xmon crash, user error, voodoo, karma, whatever.....please let me know. Thanks

Hi
Although I have a ProControl, not an Icon, this happened to me once as well. At the time I was trying to do a simple VO (no plugs, and come to think of it, no ProControl either) with a Digi 002R and ended up calling the session because of about a 15-30 ms delay. Very weird. Soon after I got the HD system and never looked back so I never found out what went wrong, or what I did wrong.....? Point being, maybe it's not the Icon that caused the problem.

Anyway, hope this contributes to the thread and did not annoy

I haven't experienced that issue but I have had weird anomolies (not Icon related) in PT on an audio track, and by duplicating that track and deleting the problematic one, fixed it....

Did you have any plugs on the master fader?

[Igotsoul4u]

No Plugins were on the master fader. The wierd part is that I did not hear it in the control room. The other strange thing was that all the music was fine in the phones; only the voice (the only track in record) was delayed. The delay occured in auto input and while recording. Anyway. It seems to have gone away. Hopefully it will stay away. Thanks.

Did you have ADC enabled? How about the ADC settings in the I/O Setup dialog?

There are some limits with delay compensation. Did you have it on?

Only the main outputs of a track are compensated if the track is in "input" - so you may have to use the main output for the cue mix if you wish to record with delay compensation on.

If you need to work this way, try disabling some of the "longer latency" plug-ins (Waves lin eq, Maxim, stuff like that).
