Even though it seems illogical, I tried it using the PG RTA. The graphic shows frequencies for the selected track. Either this thing is behind or ahead of playback, because it continues to show signal even when the vocal is doing nothing. That doesn't inspire confidence.

Then I tried muting the vocal. Nothing came through the graphic. That's a positive indicator.

Finally I checked the list of tracks currently routed through the VST. Only one shows up. That's positive.

So I guess the RTA is ahead of or behind the playback I hear by enough time that what you see is not what you hear. Makes it a little tougher to work with but considering what I had, I will take it. This is something PG should consider working on and they should add some instruction for it.

Rharv and Noel, thanks for taking the time to respond.
