      ​@@Watrwave I still wonder how Alex managed to run all theses patcher presets without running out of ram. Unless he has 256gb of ram or something insane like that. It’s unfortunate as this would be the perfect answer to my workflow issues if it weren’t from the insane ram usage.

    Nice Video Alex! As far as setting up latency compensation through the VST Wrapper Settings, you can set it for an instance of a VST, Save the Channel State (plugin options dropdown on the top left of the plugin window > "Save channel state as..."), and you can save that instance of that VST with its settings that you can drag and drop into your project via the browser, save it in your plugin list, etc. When doing this, I like to drag & drop a copy of the channel by holding & dragging that menu option, and placing it in the channel rack, then I would reset the settings (in this case, the latency) of the original channel, to not mess with other instances of that channel. You can also use that saved state's wrapper settings inside of Patcher, Which could save on CPU, though you would lose the control of altering the negative latency

    Thank you so much for sharing these details. I know this is an older video and you've grown so much since, but your words and sincerity from this time have compelled me to leave my own here in return, to confirm my gratitude and maybe also as simply an unabashed cry. After years of being kindly steered away from the passions that I clearly won't grow out of at this point, I've chosen a similar life situation as the one you described, and feel like I'm the only one who believes in me. At the same time, the thought of actually giving up is so preposterous and out of the question. Hoping to keep a grain of your like courage in the front of my mind until I have something to show of my love that others will understand 🙏 May dreams be blessed.

    i love your stuff but you have a habit of explaining too much on something without actually letting us hear it and moving on to the next thing like "whoa....we need to hear what it actually sounds like to be able to compare our stuff to". It's ok to slow down a little especially on complex stuff like this.
