The FX will introduce latency. That's what you're hearing.

Several possible solutions might help. Don't know if this applies to BB as it does to DAWs since I don't use BB/RB in the manner you seem to be using.

1. Increase the buffers and decrease the latency. This would give it a better "look ahead: on the playback. Some folks actually change their settings based on whether they are tracking or playing back. IMHO, this is a temporary fix if it works.

2. Process the audio FX to track. This prints them to the track on a more permanent basis..... maybe good, maybe not.... depends on what and how you work. Again... this is not the optimum way to do it, but is simply a workaround solution until you can get to #3.

3. Use a 3rd party external music interface running native ASIO drivers. MME suffers from latency on the playback trying to handle the load. (THIS is my solution. I can stack multiple FX into multiple tracks and busses and everything runs in real time without latency)

The system can probably handle one or two vocal FX OK, and introduce very little latency in the process. As you add more, the latency introduced at each plug adds up and soon you can hear it clearly. Then throw in a heavy usage plug like the Ozone family plugs.... they do tend to be a bit more intense than some of the default FX plugs, and suddenly you are hearing unacceptable levels of latency.

Since you mentioned that it's the de-breath plug, I suspect that the processing on that one is especially heavy. While a plug like that might be "cool".... I would likely opt to use a manual enveloping or muting on the breaths to avoid the issue altogether. I used to use automatic mode on several of the plugs I use but realized that I got better results doing what they did, automatically, by hand. Now I don't use the "automatic" mode on any plugs.

If you can shut it off and the latency goes away..... you found the problem. Now all you have to do is figure out the way you wish to workaround or solve the issue.

Hope this helps you.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
