Plug-in Streaming Buffer Size settings higher than 250 msec (Level 2) improve the audio

quality of sample playback, but they also decrease the amount of memory available for other
system tasks, such as RTAS processing.
Using a larger Plug-in Streaming Buffer Size leaves less system memory for other tasks. The de-
fault setting of 250 ms (Level 2) is recommended unless you are experiencing problems with the
audio quality of sample playback.
To change the Plug-in Streaming Buffer Size:
1 Choose Setup > Playback Engine.
2 From the Plug-in Streaming Buffer Size pop-up menu, select a buffer size.
3 Click OK.
Optimizing the Plug-in Streaming Buffer Size
(Structure Plug-in Only)
This option appears in the Playback Engine dialog only if one of the Structure sampler instru-
ment plug-in is installed on your system. This option is useful when you are playing samples
from the same drive that contains audio for the current session. When this option is selected,
Pro Tools automatically optimizes the size of the Plug-in Streaming Buffer to facilitate disk ac-
cess from both Pro Tools and Structure. The Plug-in Streaming Buffer Size pop-up menu is un-
available when this option is selected.
To set Pro Tools to optimize the Plug-in Streaming Buffer Size:
1 Choose Setup > Playback Engine.
2 Select Optimize for Streaming Content.
3 Click OK.
