Audio placement issue in Logic Pro

An issue has been reported with the SoundID VoiceAI plugin in Logic Pro: if there is a silence gap between the two audio clips across a single audio Capture, the processed audio for the second clip starts to play earlier than it should. The issue is related to how the DAW interacts with effects plugins where a silence gap is preset between clips (processing efficiency features in Logic Pro).

The issue is currently under investigation. A direct fix is not available yet, but there is a workaround possible via the Test Oscillator utility plugin in Logic Pro.

Workaround via Test Oscillator

A workaround is possible via the Test Oscillator utility plugin in Logic Pro, which essentially disarms the CPU and processing efficiency feature in Logic Pro. The presence of the Test Oscillator on the Stereo Out channel resolves the problem even if turned OFF. Follow these steps:

1. Go to plugin selection on the Stereo Out channel
2. Select Plugins > Utilities > Test Oscillator
3. Turn OFF the Test Oscillator plugin
