Mixing Latency (MME and WDM drivers only)
If you're using a MIDI keyboard to play software synthesizers, or if you're using SONAR's input monitor, you can
shorten the latency (delay until sound is heard) by reducing the I/O Buffer Size.
However, if you reduce the I/O buffer size too far, a greater processing load will be placed on your computer,
potentially causing pops, clicks, and dropouts (interrupted playback). If this occurs, increase the buffer size. ->

If an Audio Driver Error appears, adjust "Audio Buffer Size" in the "ASIO Panel."-> "Troubleshooting" (p. 41)
If the driver mode is WDM/KS, try changing to ASIO.
