Duende User Guide 5. Operational Overview Once your Duende hardware and software has been properly installed, Duende plug-ins are accessed and used just like any host-based plug-in. You can run Duende plug-ins simultaneously with your other host based plug-ins in any combination. All Duende plug-ins support up to 40bit 96kHz operation. Please note that Duende plug-ins use twice as much DSP resources at 96kHz. Duende parameters are changed by dragging, rotating or clicking k

Duende User Guide 5.3 DSP Resource Management Due to the nature of Duende having 4 DSP chips, a minimal amount of resource management should be done when running Duende at high load. If there are, for example 2 slots free and you wish to load a stereo plug-in, Duende will under certain conditions notify you that you are out of DSP resources. This will only happen if the two slots are on different DSP chips as Duende is not able to load a stereo plug-in across 2 chips. This may

Duende User Guide Most host applications automatically compensate for this latency by simply turning on the Plug-in Delay Compensation (PDC) or similar, usually found in the applications preferences. Some hosts even provide full plug-in delay compensation throughout the entire signal path, including sends, groups, and buses. The location of the settings for the PDC option within some common host applications is as follows: Cubase SX + Nuendo 2/3: Always on unless the ‘Co

Duende User Guide Compensating for latency in Pro Tools LE and M-Powered Because Pro Tools LE and M-Powered do not feature PDC it must be done manually when Duende plug-ins are used. Due to the use of firewire and the nature of how signals are sent to and from Duende, a latency is introduced which will delay any audio track, aux input, master fader or instrument track by a specified amount. Tracks that use no Duende plug-ins or less than the track with the most Duende plug-ins

Duende User Guide Any tracks that have a smaller latency than the maximum must also be delayed but by a smaller amount (i.e. tracks with 1 Duende plug-in where the maximum has 3). The delay value for these will be maximum latency minus the latency reported by that track. Using Automatic Delay Compensation in Pro Tools HD Pro Tools HD users have the luxury of being able to use Automatic Delay Compensation, as opposed to the manual method required in Pro Tools LE and M-Power

Duende User Guide This means that you can generally use up to 2 Duende plug-ins per channel without considering latency issues, but this will depend on the buffer size set in Pro Tools, the sample rate and which Duende plug-ins are loaded. Note that if an audio track with 1 Duende plug-in is routed to an aux channel with 2 Duende plug- ins the total latency for that audio getting to the mix bus will equal 3 plug-ins; this will however be clearly shown by Pro Tools.

Duende User Guide To view the latency introduced by plug-ins go to the bottom left hand corner of the Mix view, click on the small black/grey box and select ‘Delay Compensation’. Here you will find 2 values; ‘dly’ is the amount of latency introduced by the plug-ins on that channel and ‘cmp’ is the number of samples Pro Tools is delaying the other channels by. If the ‘dly’ value is less than the 4095 set in the Delay Compensation box then you don’t need to worry and everything
