Where to get itIncluded with Ableton Live. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.ableton.com

Align Delay is a utility device that delays incoming signals in samples, milliseconds, or meters/feet to align audio with visual equipment, compensate for latency, or correct timing offsets in PA systems. It features three distinct delay modes and includes temperature compensation for distance-based calculations, making it essential for phase-alignment and synchronization tasks.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Three delay modes: Time, Samples, and Distance
02Time mode for millisecond-based delay alignment
03Samples mode for latency compensation
04Distance mode with meters/feet calculation
05Temperature compensation (Celsius/Fahrenheit) for acoustic accuracy
06Link L/R toggle for synchronized stereo delay

Things to Try

  • 01Use Time mode in milliseconds to align audio with A/V equipment
  • 02Use Samples mode to compensate for latency introduced by other devices
  • 03Use Distance mode with temperature compensation matching the room conditions for more precise timing in PA systems
  • 04Enable Link L/R toggle to apply identical delay settings to both channels simultaneously
