Default Track delay compensation

Hey guys,
I'd like to have a track delay compensation.
E.g. You've got a snare drum miced directly and with a overhead that is 2meters above. Using both mics you would delay the snaremic about 6ms to have both mics in phase. At the moment I have to use a plugin for that. I think this is rather confusing. would be nice to have this option natively as this is needed in each and every recording.

for such tasks I use "JS: Time Delay Adjustment". This way I can move tracks back or forth in time.
But a native implementation would be nice indeed.

Yes I know the plugin solutions but I think it's nice to see the delay time without having to open a plugin. To me this is a very basic step I do in every production. At the moment it's like having the fader hidden in a plugin. Phase correction can bring so much benefit for the sound of a multi miced signal that I use this before just touching an EQ

+1 vote from me.
Every midi track to external gear need this.

Just a simple field like Cubase has where you enter your required delay.

Reaper just have to use that as if a plugin with that reported delay exist.

Sonar has for midi tracks where you enter in ticks.

But I'll bump the other thread linked to as well.
EDIT: OK that was locked for us mortals.

And here how ProTools also has really useful fields in mixer is maybe the best overview you could have.



You both get delay introduced on that track, total how much that track is delayed in project and a field to enter your own value.

Let's say late in the mix process you have to re-record something, or just add something - and want to know total roundtrip delay you get. You can deactivate plugin until track you are to record on gets minimum roundtrip delay.

Assign the plugin's parameters as track controls and there you have it - you can see the delay time without having to open a plugin.

Save that as a track template and off you go.

There is also a tooltip on FX button if you hover mouse - that tell delay introduced on that track - very convenient.

So open gui is not necessary.

All these years using REAPER and I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the tip.

There is a Track Inspector script has delay panel for the track.

Wow I did not know that was possible. Still wondering how does one do that? Can you point me in the right direction?

It's in All plugins->JS->Channel Time Delayer.
Also vote to add it to the builtin function.
Cubase does have it on every track!

Regarding enabling all this stuff by plugins such as "JS: Time Delay Adjustment", or scripts such as "Track Inspector script":

Thanks to the devs for providing us with the API's to allow for the implementation of advanced features.

Reaper Rocks !!!!

Bumping this thread up in hopes somebody might be able to help me out here.

How can I assign plugin parameters as track controls?

a) Move a FX plugin parameter slightly.
b) Click the button named "Param", on the upper right corner of FX window.
c) choose "show in track controls"

Outcome: In TCP, you will now see the FX plugin parameter appear in the Track's header as a knob.
