4. General Tips
Latency –
Guitar players have come to expect an instant response: Hit a string, hear a sound. That’s why it is important to minimize latency, which is
the delay your computer introduces between the time you hit a note on your guitar, and when you hear it come out of the speakers. While
low buffer sizes decrease latency, they increase CPU usage, which can cause audio dropouts. If you experience audio dropouts and glitches,
gradually increase the buffer size until the sound is smooth.
Lower latency is most important when playing live through the computer. However, when mixing or processing pre-recorded multiple tracks
with many plug-ins, latency is not critical, so stability and CPU power should get priority, so you can work with bigger buffers.
Noise –
The computer’s USB bus provides power and data communications to the Xport
™
. The power flow from the computer through the
USB bus can be quite noisy. Also, other devices connected to the USB, Ethernet or 1394 connectors of your computer can add noise that you
may hear through your Xport
™
’s output.
To get the best sound with the least noise, minimize the number of devices connected to your computer, and connect the Xport
™
directly to a
USB port rather then connecting through a USB hub.
