Latency Fixer is a free plug-in designed to manage latency reporting within your digital audio workstation. Instead of processing the audio signal, it informs the host application of a specific latency value based on its adjustable parameters. This allows the host to apply its own latency compensation, effectively advancing the audio input by the designated amount without altering the sound.

This plug-in is particularly useful when working with external hardware effects, where audio signals travel out of the audio interface and back into the system, introducing noticeable latency. By accurately reporting this delay, Latency Fixer ensures that the timing of your audio tracks remains aligned, maintaining precise synchronization throughout your project. It integrates well with hosts that support plug-in delay compensation, enhancing workflow when using outboard gear.

To function correctly, your host application must support and enable plug-in delay compensation. Once activated, Latency Fixer provides a seamless method to counteract latency issues that arise in complex routing scenarios, improving overall session timing without any direct audio processing. This makes it an essential tool for producers and engineers who incorporate external effects into their digital setups.
