What a wonderful program truly. For the first time that I can remember, Wavelab Pro 12 can be had right now with a Steinberg loyalty discount for something like 150 bucks and I am not getting it because Acoustica has done everything I need. It has a true real time mastering effects section also which is just fantastic.
HOWEVER - I am finding that I am limiting myself to plugins with very low latency, as Acoustica (latest V7.x premium) does not attempt to visually compensate plugin latency at all. This is actually an obstacle if you need to do some editing whilst you have effects on that have latency, and turning the effect off doesn't help, it has to be removed.
There's a way to fix it - and if you believe not all your users would like this, then an option in the audio preferences could be the answer.
What would fix it is to treat it like Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase etc do. What Acoustica is doing right now is the way Ableton Live does it, where it moves the play head cursor without delay, therefore it literally passes over audio to the total plugin latency value before it becomes audible.
I believe Reason is the same, but apart from those two, I don't know of any other audio editor/daw that's this way. It's unfortunate as for me at least (ymmv of course), I am finding it an obstacle indeed.
Anyway, what the other DAWs do is they delay the play head moving every time you press play, by the maximum latency of any mixer path. Once the delay is calculated, it then starts moving, therefore always being in perfect time with the audio.
Would you consider doing something like this Stian?
