For my first time, I'm using a VST audio plugin on an input channel. I'm used to using DAWs (i.e., Logic Pro X) which has automatic delay compensation. VMIX does not appear to do any automatic compensation, is that correct?

My input channel is a sync'd audio/video signal from and HDMI source, and as soon as I inserted the (noise reduction) plugin to the audio, the audio and video were no longer in sync. I solved it by adding -500ms (in this case) of delay. it's a bit confusing to me, since I would have thought I should add positive delay to the video signal... but it worked.

Just wanted to get some feedback if this is expected or if there's an easier way? This method, the sync is visual, there doesn't appear to be a tool to calculate the plugin delay for you.

Thanks!

Hi,

As vMix is Live, delay compensation is not possible, so for this reason a plugin with no or little latency is required.
(Most plugins are no or very little latency in our tests, for what its worth).

A negative delay on a live input will also have no effect, so not sure why you are seeing a difference there.
