Application Guide
VeniceF, if possible, apply the same processing path to all channels in order to maintain the
same latency for all audio channels.
The VeniceF's A-D converters have 0.25ms latency and the D-A is 0.217ms. (@48KHz. -
slightly more @ 44.1KHz). The overall system latency will depend upon the processing speed
of the computer, the inherent latency of the FireWire driver, and any additional delay in the
processing, or "plug-ins" being used.
The computers' buffer memory can be configured by the user, depending upon the
application. Decreasing the size of the buffer will result in lower latency, but can cause audio
glitches if the speed of the processor is inadequate for the task. The buffer size configuration
is usually found in the DAW softwares' preference settings. Some experimentation may be
required to find the optimum values.
Please note that some types of computer power supplies can cause ground loop induced
noise issues when connected to the VeniceF via FireWire. Computer power supplies which
are ground-isolated are recommended. See user manual for more information.
The measure of any audio system is not only one of KHz, ms, or dB, but by how it sounds. We
have gone to great lengths to ensure that the VeniceF mixer meets or exceeds all of the
criteria necessary to bear the Midas name. The FireWire interface provides an additional tool
which opens up new opportunities for creative mixing. When used with due understanding,
results can be achieved which are comparable with analogue or digital systems costing many
times more.
