OnTimePL – Real-Time Latency Detection

OnTimePL is the ultimate tool for detecting latency in real-time. Thanks to its advanced algorithms, it delivers exact measurements with sample-accurate precision, all without interrupting your creative workflow. Designed to tackle the complexity of modern audio infrastructures, it solves the lack of standardized tools for measuring and aligning signals from different routes and technologies.

🎯 Why You Need OnTimePL?

In modern productions, latency is an invisible enemy that can ruin your work. OnTimePL was created to give you total control, allowing you to:

• Detect and correct latency instantly, while you produce.

• Monitor the complete health of your audio chain in real-time.

• Guarantee perfect synchronization between different sources and technologies.

✨ Key Features

• Real-Time Detection: Instantly identifies latency and timing shifts without interrupting your session.

• Maximum Sample Accuracy: Advanced algorithms that provide exact and reliable measurements for professionals.

• Complete Audio Analysis: Monitors not only latency but also signal levels, distortion, and the overall quality of your audio.

• Intuitive Visual Monitoring: A clear graphical representation allows you to identify latency problems and patterns at a glance.

• Low CPU Consumption: Designed for an uninterrupted workflow without overloading your system.

• Dual Version, Same Precision: Use it as a VST3, AAX, or AU plugin within your favorite DAW, or as a standalone application for maximum flexibility.

• Total Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, Pro Tools, Reaper, and most DAWs on the market.

• No Special Hardware Required: Works with any standard audio interface.

🚀 Use Cases: Where Precision is Non-Negotiable

OnTimePL is the solution in critical scenarios where latency directly impacts quality.

1. Acoustic Synchronization in Orchestral Recordings

The Problem: Using multiple microphones (main and spot mics) creates interference and the destructive “Comb Filter Effect.” A minimal distance difference (1.43 cm) can cause cancellations at high frequencies (12 kHz).

The OnTimePL Solution: Facilitates the application of sample-accurate delays on the spot microphones to compensate for the sound travel time, perfectly synchronizing the wavefronts.

✅ Benefit: Elimination of the comb filter effect, with a radical improvement in instrumental clarity and definition.

2. Correction in Sports Broadcasts (AoIP vs. Satellite)

The Problem: In international broadcasts, commentator audio (traveling via terrestrial AoIP) arrives before the video signal (via satellite), creating an incoherent experience for the viewer.

The OnTimePL Solution: Precisely measures this latency difference between independent sources, making it possible to apply the necessary delays to perfectly align audio with video.

3. Main and Backup Signal Alignment

The Problem: Main and Backup paths (e.g., satellite vs. IP) have inherently different latencies. When switching between them, an annoying “time jump” occurs in the broadcast.

The OnTimePL Solution: Measures and compensates for the latency difference between both paths, ensuring a seamless transition and preventing the backup system from becoming an operational risk.

4. Compensation in Large-Scale Sound Systems (Delay Towers)

The Problem: At outdoor concerts, theoretical calculations for Delay Towers are insufficient due to dynamic atmospheric factors (temperature, wind) that alter the speed of sound.

The OnTimePL Solution: Acts as an intelligent measurement tool, continuously calculating the time difference between wavefronts in real-time. It provides a precise and updated latency value, without relying on a reference signal.

💻 How to Integrate OnTimePL into Your Workflow?

OnTimePL adapts to your needs:

• As a Plugin in your DAW: Integrate latency detection directly into your production sessions for immediate correction.

• As a Standalone Application: Use it quickly and flexibly for specific measurements in live broadcast situations or sound system tuning.

Gain total control over your audio’s timing. Try OnTimePL and experience the difference that absolute precision makes.
