▪ Format: Choose a sample rate that is compatible with your music application and suited to
your computing power. A higher sample rate improves the audio quality, but also causes
higher CPU load. By default, the sample rate is set to 44100 Hz (CD quality).
The sample rate defines how many samples are played/recorded per one second of
sound. A higher sample rate results in higher audio quality; however, 44100 Hz (as
used for recording audio CDs) is a common setting and absolutely sufficient for most
tasks. If your final destination is CD, you should use this setting or a multiple of it
(88200 Hz). For a better understanding: 48000 Hz is used by DAT recorders and for
DVD (films) recording. 96000 Hz and higher rates are typical for DVD, HD DVD, and
Blue-ray Disc audio recording. You should be aware that a higher sample rate also caus-
es higher CPU load.
▪ Thru: The Thru checkboxes enable direct monitoring. This sends the input signals directly
to its output at zero latency without any internal signal processing. Tick the checkbox of
the relevant channel to activate direct monitoring. This setting is also accessible from the
hardware's front panel in the MONITOR section (see also chapter
The channels' volume settings cannot be controlled from the Audio MIDI Setup utility;
use the relevant hardware controls (see chapter
