Delay before recording
I don't think anything has changed in my system. Now suddenly any time I switch away to a different application, when I come back to CW, I get maybe 5-10 seconds delay when hitting R to record, where the cursor spins, then recording proceeds normally. After that, as long as CW stays the active application, when I hit R to record it starts right up like it's supposed to. Then after I go away and come back, the delay and spinning cursor returns. What might be causing this?
In my experience three things can cause a delay in playback:
1. Lookahead plugins - any plugin that has to look ahead will cause a delay in playback, as it has to effectively start playing for the lookahead before the audio is actually heard. Linear Phase EQ's are the most common culprits.
2. The "Always Open All Devices" and "Allow Arm Changes During Playback/Record" settings
"Always Open All Devices" causes all audio devices to be initialized when the engine is started/restarted.
