When the total delay on a track exceeds the amount of compensation available, Pro Tools displays the information in which color?

• A. Blue
• B. Red
• C. Green
• D. Yellow

Answer: (B)

Pro Tools uses color cues to show latency status. When a track’s total delay from plugins and routing exceeds what Automatic Delay Compensation can offset, the Delay readout on that track turns red to warn that full alignment with the rest of the mix isn’t possible. This red signal helps you quickly spot latency overflow so you can take action—reduce or remove high-latency inserts, adjust routing, or commit/bounce the track—to bring its delay back within the compensation range.
