10 use the button LIMITER to enable/disable the software limiter inside
croSS.
the limiter ensures that the level of the audio signal never exceeds a par-
ticular value. this is to avoid clipping.
open the Routing Mode list box and select the routing mode you wish to
11
use.
croSS provides four different routing modes where each option supports a
different usage scenario:
•
Dual Stereo use this option if you have an audio interface with two
stereo outputs and if you wish to use the internal croSS DJ mixer. one
output is used for the master/mix out signal; the other one is used for
the cue/Headphone signal.
•
External Mixer use this option if you use croSS DJ in external mixer
mode. In this mode the output of each croSS DJ player is sent to a
dedicated output on your audio interface.
•
Simple Stereo In this mode the sum of the master and cue/monitor
signals are routed to one output on your audio interface. you can use
this option when using an audio interface with only one output (normally
the internal soundcard of your laptop).
•
Split Mono use this option if you have one stereo output. this is usu-
ally the case with almost all soundcards that are integrated in laptops.
croSS DJ sends the master/mix out signal to the left channel of the
output and the cue/Headphone signal to the right channel of the output.
You get two mono signals in this configuration but you are still able to
use the cue/monitor feature of croSS DJ.
NOTE When using routing mode Split Mono or Simple Stereo you
only need to perform step 9 (setting output 1), as with both routing
modes, only one output is needed.
Sidebar: ASIO, Latency and Buffer Size
as a general rule the lower the latency time, the better. But: a low latency time
can cause some issues. one is caused by the method by which the audio data is
sent from the application (in our case croSS DJ) to the audio interface (to be more
precise: to its digital-to-analogue converter, which transforms the audio data into
audible sound).
