Configuring The Digiface - Settings Dialog General - RME Audio Digiface AES User Manual

7. Configuring the Digiface – Settings Dialog
7.1 General
Configuration of the Digiface AES is done via its own settings dialog. The panel Settings can be
opened by clicking on the fire or hammer symbol in the Task Bar's system tray.
The mixer of the Digiface AES, TotalMix FX, can be opened by clicking
on the button symbol in the Task Bar's system tray
The hardware of the Digiface AES offers a number of helpful practical functions and options to
suit many different requirements. The 'Settings' dialog includes options for:
 Latency
 Operation of the DSP
 Configuration of the digital I/Os
 Current sample rate
 Synchronization behaviour
 State of input and output
Any changes made in the Settings dialog
are applied immediately - confirmation
(e.g. by clicking on OK or exiting the dia-
log) is not required.
However, settings should not be changed
during playback or record if it can be
avoided, as this can cause unwanted
noises. Also, please note that even in
'Stop' mode, several programs keep the
recording and playback devices open,
which means that any new settings might
not be applied immediately.
The tab About includes information
about the current driver and firmware ver-
sion of the Digiface AES. About offers
four more options:
Lock Registry
Default: off. Checking this option brings
up a dialog to enter a password. Changes
in the Settings dialog are no longer writ-
ten to the registry. As the settings are always loaded from the registry when starting the computer,
this method provides an easy way to define an initial state of the Digiface AES.
Enable MMCSS for ASIO activates support with higher priority for the ASIO driver. Note: At this
time, activating this option seems to be useful only with the latest Cubase/Nuendo at higher load.
With other software this option can decrease performance. The change becomes active after an
ASIO reset. Therefore it is easy to quickly check which setting works better.
Sort ASIO Devices
Changes the order only of the ASIO channels when using more than one interface.
