Plug-In Levels
Meter levels on the S6L system are displayed in dBVU, with 0 dBVU =+4dBu analog out = –20dBFS.
Internally, the S6L system provides up to 32-bit processing for built-in EQ, dynamics, and plug-ins, with level matching circuitry
and logic ensuring maximum fidelity and sonic performance throughout the entire signal path. Due to variances in how plug-in me-
tering is implemented by different manufacturers, performance may vary with regard to plug-in gain reduction meters and their rel-
ative levels.
When using side-chain routing, be aware of potential level differences between input channel pickoff points. For more information,
see
Sidechain.
Plug-In Latency and Processing Delay
Plug-In latency includes processing delay of the plug-in itself plus routing delay, as follows:
• Instance delay: 2 samples per plug-in
• DSP routing delay: 3 samples
Viewing Plug-In Latency
Cumulative channel processing delay can be viewed by touching-and-holding (right-clicking) the Inserts area of the selected chan-
nel. The cumulative delay includes latency reported by all inserted plug-ins, signal routing and the known hardware insert delay,
if applicable.
Individual plug-In processing delay can be seen by touching-and-holding (right-clicking) the plug-in icon in the rack. Use the num-
ber reported when calculating latency for manual delay compensation.
Examples
If there is only one plug-in on a channel, the total delay will be the amount of plug-in latency + 2 + 3. (2 samples for the one plug-in
instance, plus 3 samples for the DSP routing to the racks and back.)
If you have two plug-ins on a channel or bus, the delay will be plug-in #1 latency + 2 + plug-in #2 latency + 2 + 3. If plug-in #1
has 12 samples of latency, and plug-in #2 has 15, total latency will be 34 samples (12 + 2 + 15 + 2 + 3).
Initializing the Plug-In Racks
The racks are initialized (or re-initialized) whenever the system is first powered on, whenever the system is restarted, after install-
ing a plug-in, and after disabling or re-enabling a plug-in.
While the racks are initializing, they are offline and do not process audio. Avoid performing any Filing or Transfer functions until
the racks are finished initializing. Rack status is displayed on-screen in the banner display.
