Pro L-2 not playing nice with Plugin Delay Compensation (Logix 10.6 Rosetta 2)
Anyone else is having latency issues with Pro L2 on the master bus lately?
Probably Apple´s fault, I am just wondering if it's just me or have you experienced something similar.

Plugin Delay Compensation in Logic is broken, it has always been like that. There’s lots of threads about it.
If you use any plugin that has significant latency or that uses lookahead anywhere in your session it will throw off your automation and your side chains. The L2 is not to blame, it is Logics fault.
The only fix is to turn off lookahead and to not use plugins that have big latencies in Logic. Sad but true.
There is indeed an issue in Logic with its delay compensation. However, when you are using Pro-L 2 on your master buss without external side-chaining, these issues should not have any influence on your session. What exactly seems to be the problem?
Wanted to mention here that Apple released Logic 10.6.2 today and the release notes say:
New features and enhancements
Fixes an issue where high latency plug-ins could cause timing issues for side-chain routing and automation.
