Buffer offset
These values only apply if you are using more than one AudioFire and/or RIP. This
displays the buffer arrival time difference between multiple devices. Normally this
should be between 0 and -.5 milliseconds.
Things to watch for
If you are getting glitches in your audio, use the analyzer to see if:
•
The average playback time is substantially different from the average
record time
•
The ASIO wakeup time is too long.
•
The ASIO host time is too long.
To get glitch-free playback, the wakeup time plus the host time must be less than
the average buffer time.
If the wakeup time is long (more than a few tenths of a second), it’s probably
another hardware device in your system hogging the computer (see above).
If your ASIO host time is too long, try running fewer tracks or fewer plugins in
your audio software.
Saving a report
Clicking the “Save” button will write a report containing all of this information to
your “My Documents” folder on Windows XP or your “Documents” folder on
Windows Vista/Windows 7.
