EQ latency on FL Studio 9

[Uepon]

Hi dj!,

I am trying Redline EQ on FL Studio 9 producer edition.
I made simple kick and snare pattern by the step sequencer.
Inserting EQ to the snare channel on the mixer.
Play it, but the snare delays approx 1 step behind.
I have tried several presets but not changed.
Another EQ plug-in(T-RackS EQ)works correctly on FL9.
Redline EQ works fine on Ableton Live 7.

Would you please test this FL setting?

edit:  I found out the solution is PDC, according to FL manual.
Latency on FL is 3840samples(87.07ms).
The kick and snare is syncing now by means of PDC.
Thanks anyway.

Redline Equalizer 1.0.2
Windows XP Pro sp3, Core2Duo 2.5GHz, 4Gb RAM
Novation nio 2|4 ASIO driver ver 1.25

Yes, that is a known issue.  The 1.0.3 beta build shd fix this, please try it and report back here if it doesn't.

Take care,

Thank you for the beta update.
I have tested it but unfortunately the result was unchanged.

Then, I have tested other linear-phase EQ plugin(T-Ra**S).
The result was same(and tons of latency).  
Are the most of linear-phase EQs not able to avoid latency?
Unless DAW have automatic delay compensation.
Ableton Live have it, FL is not.

I want to use Redline EQ as Mastering EQ until the issue is resolved.
Thanks!

Ah, now I see we're talking about different things.  TBH I wasn't aware (or probably I just forgot) that FL doesn't have latency compensation--the reported latency was off and that's what 1.0.3 shd fix.

As you already guessed, linear phase EQ is not even technically possible without introducing (quite a bit of) latency--that's why all LP EQ's introduce it.  So sorry but there's really no way around it.

That said, for v2 we are investigating the possibility of a low (or even zero) latency mode, in which the features that require latency are disabled or restricted.  Notably the variable phase shift, possibly some others.

Hope this helps,
