powered plug-ins, the delay issue ! Options

[damann]

i recently bought a universal audio uad1 pci card. i was shocked to find out that when using this card or the tc powercore, every time you use one of it's plugs, a delay occurs!
these guys don't advertise this fact (surprise).
yes, the plugs sound GREAT, but a delay equal to the size of your audio buffer kicks in. the only way to compensate for this delay is to bus all unaffected tracks to a return and using a 'delay compensator' plug to effectively delay all other tracks to the same degree!
in a mixdown situation where you've made final decisions about all elements of your song and bounced them down as audio tracks this isn't too much of a problem, but whilst you're still working on a song this situation is pretty unbearable.
does anybody have similar experience/help for me here, or more importantly, does anybody have news/knowledge about the future of this unique problem?
there are other issues that i won't discuss yet, but i'm really hoping that this fundamental problem has some kind of solution. r.s.v.p.

o.k, i read this, amongst other things in the sos forums. please refer to my original post on this issue, it's help that i'm looking for!
also, is the publison a compressor? are you really suggesting that the worlds greatest recording engineers don't know what they're talking about?

Powercore
I running powercore with Logic 4.7.3 on a G4 400. I can get the full quota of plugins up. say 8 at a time i think!! I havent upgraded my drivers to 1.6 yet and the latency issue is an %%**!!!''er!! Does 1.6 sort out that problem? Its alrite with the Compensator plugin but if you wanna play any thing over the top you cant!! I have to say the quality of the proce3ssing makes up for all the crap you have to deal with!!

re this guys post, can i just say that the uad1 gives me about 4 times as many plugs as he's getting from his powercore, there is a very good reason for this. uaudio.com will explain for you.
