Constrain Delay Compensation

To avoid that Cubase adds latency when you play a VST instrument in real time or record live audio, you can activate Constrain Delay Compensation. This minimizes the latency effects of the delay compensation, while maintaining the sound of the mix as far as possible.

Constrain Delay Compensation is available on the Project window toolbar and in the Transport zone. You can also find it as a menu item in the MixConsole on the Functions Menu.

Activating Constrain Delay Compensation turns off VST plug-ins that are activated for VST instrument channels, audio track channels that are record-enabled, group channels, and output channels. VST plug-ins that are activated for FX channels are disregarded. After recording or using a VST instrument, Constrain Delay Compensation should be deactivated again in order to restore full delay compensation.
