Bus object latency

Question

Hi all
Will the audio signal be delayed if I assign the output (not send) of a track eg: audio track 1 to a bus.
I want to send different audio tracks to the same bus bus to create sub-groups for mixing.
However I am doing this for a film mix so I can't lose sync.
Thanks in advance
Marcel

Logic's PDC is not "weird" at all. I recently started
to test all of logic's plugins,at all I/O buffer
settings,and found the the Adaptive Limiter and the
Multipressor do NOT add latency to the audio
stream.There might be a different reason why you are
experiencing the latency.
I am also going to test different configurations of
the plugins,ie inserted on a buss,etc...to be able to
get a handle on where this supposed latency is coming
from.
I just have not ever seen it on my projects.That is
why I am doing the extensive testing.
Search this forum to see the link to my test
results.
I'd love to see the test results. Here's what I've found so far about PDC.
The AUX's are not compensated, which is why I would normally want to use PDC, to compensate for a plugin on a submix bus of drums or whatever.
The movie doesn't move with the audio. Add a tight audio sfx to a point in the movie. Turn on PDC....the hit is no longer with the picture. That's a big one for me, scoring to picture is what I do.
With PDC on, when bouncing, a blank space is added to the front of the audio. I've read about this, but hadn't noticed until I recently did a track for a website that needed to loop.
Granted all of this depends on what plugins you're using and where your using them, but none of the above is what I would call "normal" in regards to how PDC works in other programs like ProTools. So, I leave PDC off when I score to picture and I stay away from using Logic's mastering limiters on my master out.
But hey, if I'm doing something wrong, I'd love to know.
thanks
