Asio Buffer Size; Wave Playback/Record Mode - TerraTec EWS88 MT Manual

ASIO Buffer Size.

Wave Playback/Record Mode.

The Wave Playback/Record Mode determines, if you want to work with a single software
application (i.e. your sequencer) or several simultaneously. As we have already shown ("The
Master Clock" section), running programs with different sampling-rates is not possible.
Identical recording and/or playback frequencies will not present a problem (simply switch to
1/2, 3/4, 5/6 etc.) need to be available simultaneously, and start in perfect synchronization.
An extremely important feature, which is indispensable in professional sound recording.

The ASIO Buffer Size is responsible for the
speed of the ASIO-drivers. The smaller the
number of samples per buffer, the shorter
the time it takes for your software to send
signals. This setting is also – like the DMA
Buffer Transfer Latency – system dependent.
In the best case scenario, latency will be
only 3ms. On common systems with a
common processor load , you will work with
a latency of about 7-30ms. Please note, that
you will need to restart ASIO-applications
once you have changed the ASIO-settings.
