[LAU] ArdourVST - Latency Management

Correct. Ardour does. But apparently not when i use VST plugins.

Well, that is something only the authors can give an answer for. First 
of all, this is a problem I have with all VST plugins I tried. When 
there are plugins that seem to produce no/nearly no latency then its 
only a task of opening more of them in the same strip to see whats 
really going on. For some others, like the (wonderful and free) SIR 
convolution/impulse response reverb, it only takes one instance.

Best regards,
Sebastian.
