As it was last updated in 2001, PARIS lacks internal latency compensation for plugins (either native or internal). PARIS users use different approaches to work around this. They can either avoid the issue by avoiding latency-causing plugins, manually compensate for latency by nudging or sliding audio earlier on the edit screen, or compensate more globally via a system such as
Vertex DSP's FaderWorks. Those who want to avoid the issue altogether can simply avoid the plugins
marked in red below. Those seeking to manually compensate for latency can look up the exact latency of any particular plugin and nudge their audio earlier by that amount (see important notes in sidebar to right).
Note that when you are "nudging" on the editor screen in PARIS, the "nudge" values are not precise. PARIS power-user DJ explains in depth:
"The nudge values are not consistent with what one would expect the samples to be per ms, and they are also not consistent with themselves. Meaning that a 1ms nudge would be expected to be 44 samples [assuming a sample rate of 44.1k]
but is actually 80. A 10ms nudge isn't 10 X 80 or 800 samples though, it's actually 480."
PARIS Editor: Displayed vs. Actual Values
| Displayed Value | Actual absolute movement in editor (in samples) |
|---|
| "1ms" | 80 samples |
| "5ms" | 240 samples |
| "10ms" | 480 samples |
| "25ms" | 1120 samples |
| "50ms" | 2240 samples |
| "75ms" | 3360 samples |
| "100ms" | 4480 samples |
DJ:
"Using sampleslide to assist the nudge function... for UAD-1 plugins, Sampleslide presets were as follows:"
Compensating for UAD plugin latency with "Sampleslide" plus "nudge"
