Buffer Size Selector (PC only)
Changes the StudioLive Buffer Size.
You can set the buffer size from 64 to 4,096 samples. The
buffer size determines the roundtrip time it takes audio
data to be converted from analog to digital and back to
analog. As a general rule, the higher the buffer size, the
better the system performance, but the less playable
virtual instruments and the like become. In general, 512
samples (11 to 12 milliseconds) will provide you with a
large enough buffer for optimum system performance,
but low enough to be unobtrusive. You should set your
buffer size and sample rate prior to launching your host
application.
On the Mac, the buffer size is set from inside your host
application.
