      Apogee Native Plugin Latency Specs

      Note: This is regarding Native plugins as run inside a recording program on the Mac or Windows PC. It does not apply to plugins running on DSP inside an interface such as Symphony Desktop or Ensemble Thunderbolt.

      • Apogee FX Rack (with any combination of ModEQ, ModComp, EQP-1A, MEQ-5, or Opto-3A): 0 samples of latency
      • Apogee Channel FX Rack (with any combination of ModEQ, ModComp, EQP-1A, MEQ-5, Opto-3A, or Symphony ECS Channel Strip): 0 samples of latency
      • Clearmountain's Domain: 0 samples of latency
      • Clearmountain's Phases: 32 samples of latency*
        *with Tape Flange engaged and BBD set to TCA on Flanger: 62 samples of latency
        *with Tape Flange engaged and BBD set to SAD on Flanger: 119 samples of latency
        *with Tape Flange engaged and BBD set to NTE on Flanger: 208 samples of latency
        *with Tape Flange engaged and BBD set to MN on Flanger: 737 samples of latency
        *with Tape Flange engaged and BBD set to WD on Flanger: 93 samples of latency
      • Clearmountain's Spaces: 0 samples of latency
      • EQP-1A: 0 samples of latency
      • MEQ-5: 0 samples of latency
      • ModEQ-6: 0 samples of latency
      • ModComp: 0 samples of latency
      • Opto-3A: 0 samples of latency
      • Soft Limit:
        0 samples of latency (when Over-Sample turned off),
        16 samples of latency (when Over-Sample turned on at any amount)
      • Symphony ECS Channel Strip: 0 samples of latency

      As shown above, only two Apogee plugins add latency to a DAW project:

      Phases,  and Soft-Limit (when over-sampling is engaged)

      The latency compensation engine of the DAW adjusts for this figure so there are no ill-effects to a project.
