DAE Playback Buffer Size settings higher than
Level 2 will allow for a higher density of edits in
a session or a higher track count when using
slower hard drives. However, a higher setting
can also cause a time lag to occur when starting
playback or recording, or longer audible time lag
while editing during playback.
To change the DAE Playback Buffer Size:
1
Choose Setup > Playback Engine.
2
From the DAE Playback Buffer pop-up menu,
select a buffer size.
3
Click OK.
Pro Tools Hardware Settings and
M-Audio Control Panel
The Hardware Setup dialog in Pro Tools (Setup >
Hardware) displays the name of your
M-Audio peripheral, and tells you that various
hardware functions can be changed in the M-
Audio Control Panel.
Using the M-Audio Control Panel, you can
change settings in the following areas:
• Mixer Settings
• Output Settings
• Hardware Settings (including sample rate,
hardware buffer size, and sync source).
To change M-Audio Control Panel settings:
1
If Pro Tools M-Powered is running, exit
Pro Tools.
2
Choose Start > Control Panel.
3
Launch the M-Audio Control Panel as follows:
• For FireWire interfaces, launch M-Audio
FW Audio.
• For PCI interfaces, launch M-Audio Delta
Audio.
• For USB Interfaces, launch the M-Audio
control panel with the name of your inter-
face.
4
To change settings in the M-Audio Control
Panel, refer to the documentation that came
with your M-Audio interface.
5
When finished, close the M-Audio Control
Panel.
Sync Source (Pro Tools Clock Source)
If your M-Audio interface has a digital I/O (such
as a S/PDIF I/O), use the M-Audio Control Panel
to select the Sync Source for the system.
To select the Sync Source:
1
If Pro Tools M-Powered is running, exit
Pro Tools.
2
Choose Start > Control Panel.
Using a larger DAE Playback Buffer Size
leaves less system memory for other tasks.
The default setting of Level 2 is recom-
mended unless you are encountering -9073
(“Disk too slow or fragmented”) errors.
You can change the sample rate when creat-
ing a new Pro Tools session by selecting a
different sample rate in the New Session
dialog. (Refer to
the Pro Tools Reference
Guide for details.)
With Pro Tools M-Powered, Sync Source
cannot be set in the Pro Tools Session Setup
window.
