Adjusting the buffer size
This unit functions as an audio device conforming to the ASIO
standards.
!
If an application using this unit as the default audio device (DJ
software, etc.) is running, quit that application before adjusting the
buffer size.
Click the Windows [Start] menu>[All
Programs]>[Pioneer]>[DDJ]>[DDJ ASIO Settings Utility].
!
If the buffer size is made large, drops in audio data (breaks in the
sound) occur less easily, but the time lag due to the delay in the
transfer of the audio data (latency) increases.
!
If the kernel buffer number is made large, breaks in the sound occur
less easily, but the time lag due to latency increases.
The default value of the kernel buffer number is [
3
]. If breaks in the
sound occur with this default value, set the kernel buffer number to
[
4
]. In normal use, we recommend setting the kernel buffer number
to [
2
].
