ATA Auto Time Adjuster is a plugin delay compensation (PDC) plugin designed to ensure precise audio timing in digital audio workstations (DAWs). Initially developed for Pro Tools LE 7 & 8 (RTAS) due to their lack of built-in PDC, ATA remains a valuable tool for newer Pro Tools versions (9+/AAX) that do have PDC. It offers several advantages, including a large latency limit of 50,000 samples and increased accuracy in measuring plugin latency directly, even for outboard gear.
ATA functions by inserting it on each track in a mix. It measures the actual latency of all plugin and outboard inserts using a short burst of audio, or "ping," triggered from the ATA on the master fader. Based on these measurements, ATA calculates and sets appropriate delays for each ATA on each track or bus, ensuring that all tracks are aligned for the tightest possible timing.
