output devices vary, so may the settings you’ll need to use to maximize
performance.
Use the Multitrack Settings shown above as a starting place when
adjusting your system to optimize the performance of Cool Edit Pro.
Cool Edit Pro will take more time performing background mixing when you
have your tracks assigned to multiple sets of Darla24’s outputs. In this
scenario, Cool Edit Pro creates a separate mix for each output device (each
Darla24 channel-pair). This additional mixing demands more processing
power from your computer, resulting in longer mix times and possible
skipping during playback. If your system is performing sluggishly, you can
temporarily assign all tracks to a single channel-pair while monitoring to
speed things up. When doing so, it is recommended that you check
32-bit
Pre-mixes
mode in the
Settings
/
Multitrack
screen. When monitoring to
multiple output devices,
16-bit Pre-mixes
is the recommended mode.
Note that the 16-bit and 32-bit modes are playback settings only; that is, the
data on your disk remains at the resolution at which it was recorded.
