To adjust the buffer size of the MADI-USB Combo card, both the streaming mode and the
buffer size settings need to be set correctly corresponding to one another.
For example, by setting the streaming mode to 'Reliable' and then the buffer size to 1024
samples, the system will then be running at 1024 samples and the audio will be clean.
For lower buffer sizes, the streaming mode should be set to 'Low Latency' and the buffer
size to 128 samples.
A mismatch between Streaming mode and buffer size could cause artefacts in the audio
and could corrupt the audio recording. A mismatched buffer setting such as setting the
streaming mode to 'Reliable' and the buffer size to 64 samples would result in distorted
audio in your recording.
To avoid artefacts and to produce a reliable recording you should select the appropriate
buffer size for the streaming mode. When a mismatch occurs, a dialogue will appear at
the bottom of the control panel menu with instructions of where to go from the current
setting to make a compatible setup.
NOTE: The ability to set low buffer sizes depends mostly on CPU Performance. A
high-performance computer with a dedicated USB bus will be able to achieve small
buffer sizes.
