Default Record:output ( latency compensated)?

When is Record: output(latency compensated) applicable vs. Record: output. When should this record mode be used? What kind of latency is compensated?

The one set in the preferences (recording offset).


@Justin: Would be nice if this could be made more clear. Every second day somebody is asking about this preference or uses this option the wrong way!

Record output is good if you want to use record output to capture the playback output of a track or other tracks, i.e. for realtime mixing down sort of things etc..

Record output (latency compensated) is good if you want to record the wet mix of a live input, but still latency compensate the source (i.e. if you're recording a EQ'd mix, but you want the timing to be as it was played, not as it was heard).

Googling and still can't get this straight, lol.

Let's say you're recording guitar and monitoring through REAPER using some kind of VST like Amplitube etc...

Let's say you want to record it wet - since there is no external gear included (besides your guitar connected to Hi-Z input of an audio card) and you're playing it and monitoring through REAPER you would NOT use latency compensated mode here. Because you want to record it as it as heard, right?

Am I right here?
