You can even use one MIDI track to trigger multiple Cableguys plugins. This has consistently resulted in correct timing in our tests. We discussed this with Ableton in 20 with no success, and we encourage anyone affected by the issue to bug them about it.Īs a quick workaround, you can use the oscilloscope in your Cableguys plugin to move the wave to the left until the timing matches up again (use the arrow buttons below the wave SHIFT-click for precise adjustments).įor Ableton Live, a more reliable workaround is to trigger your Cableguys plugin via MIDI or via audio. Please feel free to bug the developer of your DAW about this, as this failure to compensate for latency correctly in timeline-synced plugins is as frustrating for us as it is for you. Our plugins are synced to the timing information provided by the host DAW, but unfortunately some DAWs don't correctly factor in PDC, so the timing information provided can be wrong. This problem is not caused by Cableguys plugins, but is the result of a PDC (Plugin Delay Compensation) issue within the DAW. Cableguys effects work perfectly in all DAWs when they're the only plugin on a track, but in certain DAWs, including Ableton Live and Apple Logic Pro, they can suffer from latency in other cases – such as when there are several other plugins also on the track, or when used on a group or audio track with other tracks routed to it.
