Negative Track Delay Database / Spreadsheet

[Heinigoldstein]

I emailed VSL about this a year or so ago and they informed me there was no need to use negative delay

I do not own any VSL libraries, but what puzzles me about this is, does this refer only to the attacks of the different articulations or to the legato transitions as well ?

I asked the question about the track delay for VSL Synchron Woodwinds, because I have - once again - started a template, this time with all my orchestral on a local VEPro and on a PC VEPro. Following the guidelines from David I have created a long and short version for every instrument. I have far too many libraries and the main part are from VSL, so this discussion about "to track delay or not to track delay" made me test a VSL Synchron Strings Pro staccato (short) patch + Synchron Strings 1 long patch against a snare from Superior.

As expected the snare is right on the beat, but I found that a track delay of -70 ms was needed to make the staccato strings line up and surprisingly the long string patch also sounded quite on time with a delay of -70ms.

Please take a listen and let me know if you think that I'm right about that!

I'm looking for negative track delay information for the followings library:
- Soaring High Strings
- Thematic Horns
- Thematic Trumpets
Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

At least for the legatos, the delays are included in the manuals on the SF website. Soaring Strings has a delay of -200 ms when the offset is set to 0. Horns 125 ms for the performance legato. All info taken from the manuals, not verified by trail and error.

anyone have the BWS timings? I'm doing by ear but want to be sure I'm correct

Did you manage to find sample delays for this library?
