not sure what you mean by "somewhat messed up". if you mean the fade
in applied to the audio - this reflects a global transport declick
applied whenever the transport starts up. it wouldn't affect the
actual recording of external performance.

but i guess you might mean something else.

the AL plugin is a bit dangerous to use for this kind of testing,
because it doesn't actually create any real latency at all. it merely
*reports* latency.
