OK, well, having to remember to turn the plugin off and "This is not compensating the recording" are two different things. The recordings are compensated: we are compensating the ASIO (or recording) crudely backwards by too much and the playback finely forwards at the same time. Before I can continue discussing the issue I must understand how to do the compensating your way, which I haven't been able to reproduce. I've created Input Objects (which I've never done before) and added a Sample Delay plugin. I see the audio input object is showing my input signal (our click test) so this seems like the correct object to compensate from, under your method. However, whether plugin delay compensation is on or off I cannot get it to register on the recording itself. Moreover, I'm right off the bat confused since there is no negative delay amount allowed by the Logic helper plugin. Wouldn't this negative amount be what you are looking for if you're trying to do all your compensating from this input object?
