Delay Compensation (again)

I'm doing a big project in my home studio with Tape16 and I kind of boned myself. I recorded a full drum kit through my analog console with tons of external processing on the way in and bussed everything down to a stereo pair.

Long story short, I've started doing some guitar and bass and I noticed my guitars were out of sync. I (stupidly) thought it might be some sort of glitch in the DAW and started rerecording them only to realize part way through that it was the delay from a plugin I added to the drum bus. Now I've got 1 song with guitars that are synced with one plugins worth of delay and 4 others without.

This is my problem obviously, but I wanted to warn everyone about using plugins while you're still tracking and ask if delay compensation is possible for internal plugins.

I saw a post asking about delay compensation for external processors, but not for plugins.

Anyway, love the DAW.

Hope this helps

🤘
