(and the sample rate too high), this will negatively affect the performance of your
overall system—a more powerful computer will support a lower latency setting.
With a fast system, you should achieve values of less than 5 ms at 96 kHz without
problems. “Without problems” means that you will not detect any dropouts during
audio recording or playback. If such dropouts occur, increase the latency. Further
options are generally available on the relevant panels of ASIO applications such as
Cubase, Wavelab etc.
Colors
When it comes to the design of the UF400e Control Panel, we like things to be clean
and functional. We don’t want to force anything onto you, however—feel free to
brighten your screen with the Color Panel. This section contains a number of truly
useful settings that not only beautify your UF400e Control Panel, but which improve
the overview of its display:
A click on the Background, Text, Static Controls and Peakmeter buttons opens the
Windows dialog to change the colors.
The “Refl ections off” option disables the attractive refl ections of the elements. This
can be helpful for slower systems.
Test the settings made above in the right-hand part of the window and save them
when you’re satisfi ed.
Once saved, you can fi nd your personal color settings in the dropdown menu, which
already contains a number of examples. The “Windows System” color set uses only
colors that display correctly at an 8-bit color depth.
Scenes
Faced with such a wealth of settings, it would be pretty tedious to have to set things
up by hand every time. Needless to say, you can count on us to make your life easier
with our extremely practical “Scenes” menu item. Simply save all of your control
