TIP If no aSIo driver for your audio interface is available you can use the
aSIo4all driver as an alternative. aSIo4all is a hardware independent low
latency aSIo driver for Windows audio devices and acts as a layer between the
DirectSound driver and the audio application, which here is croSS DJ. once
you have installed ASIO4ALL you need to configure the driver and tell it, which
Windows audio drivers it shall use. then you should select the aSIo4all dri-
ver in the croSS audio setup.
using aSIo4all can lead to better audio performance, to a lower latency time
and can help to avoid clicks and pops. even though a guarantee cannot be
given, checking ASIO4ALL is definitely worth while.
please note that the latency time when using aSIo4all is always greater
than with a generic ASIO driver because the audio data from CROSS is first
sent via the aSIo protocol to aSIo4all and then via the WDm protocol to the
audio interface. for this reason using aSIo4all should be seen more as a
workaround.
OS X If you are running croSS DJ on oS X only the currently available and
connected audio interface is shown. all drivers you see in the list are core
audio drivers.
click the Sample Rate button with the sample rate you wish to use.

the default setting is 44.1 kHz, which is the same sampling rate used by
audio cDs. In most cases this default setting is acceptable.
By changing the sample rate you instruct croSS DJ that all audio data it
sends to your audio interface has to be at the selected sample rate. this
means that even compressed audio file formats (like MP3), need to be re-
sampled by croSS DJ before the audio is sent to the outside world.
Even if you only use standard WAV files that have a sample rate of 44.1 kHz
the sound will not be improved if you change the sample rate to 88.2 kHz,
for example. However, if you use your own audio material that has a higher
sample rate, it makes sense to change the sample rate that croSS will
use.
6 use the slider Buffer size to change the latency time of your audio inter-
face. the default buffer size is 256 samples.
