The lower the buffer size, the lower the latency. The range of the buffer size settings depends on the stream granularity defined in the Digigram Control Center. You can access this parameter by clicking on the " C hange DSP granularity " button. Note that, audio dropouts may be experienced when using very small buffer size. It is possible to check if audio dropouts are experienced by clicking on the “ T est ” button. In case errors are reported, buffer size has to be increased. Select Activated IO Clicking on this button allows selecting the channels that are managed bhy the ASIO driver. By default, all the channels are enabled. 11 ...
