Re: Mixbus delay
There is a way, you can use the insert to insert one of the first four effects and use the delay.
There are of course some limitations, like smallest resolution being 1ms, and it costs you a send-return effect.
To John DiNicola:
Having delay on groups is somewhat of a necessity when using the desk both for monitor and main mix. The way it is at the moment, with input delay pre everything, you can't use the rather long delay times you need for aligning backline and drums with the bleed into downstage mikes, because the delay would also affect monitors. The only solution is to make the small alignments between mics on the drums, amp-mics and diboxes on guitars and bass etc. and route the whole backline to a subgroup and delay that whole subgroup.
Doing it this way is fine, and actually a lot easier, but there should be a precision delay available for insert. Delays doesn't really use up dsp resources, only memory, and hopefully there is still enough available even if delays were made available for the buses.
