Setting the Audio Card Buffer
ASIO
If an ASIO driver is selected, there will be no “Buffer Size” slider in the Prefer-
ences dialog.
D D D D
If you are using an ASIO driver specifically written for the audio
hardware, you can in some cases make settings for the hardware by
clicking the Control Panel button.
This opens the hardware’s ASIO Device Control Panel, which may or may
not contain parameters for adjusting the number and/or size of the audio
buffers - the fewer and smaller the audio buffers, the lower the latency.
Please consult the documentation of your audio hardware and its ASIO driv-
ers for details!
DX/MME
For DirectX or MME drivers, it is important that you trim the buffer setting prop-
erly. The buffer setting is a balance between fast response to playback com-
mands on one hand and “safe” audio playback on the other.
1. Select “Open” from the File menu.
2. In the dialog that appears, navigate to the ReCycle program folder.
Make sure the “All Files” option is selected on the “Files of type” pop-up
menu.
3. Open the file “Drum Tools Demo.aif”.
4. Activate Playback by clicking the Play button.
5. Open the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu.
6. In the Preferences dialog, locate the Buffer Size slider and drag it
all the way to the right.
The Buffer Size slider.
7. Now drag the Buffer Size slider to the left, a bit at a time. Try posi-
tions further and further to the left, until the sound starts ”breaking
up”.
8. Drag the slider a little bit to the right, so that the sound is OK again.
9. Close the dialog.
You are now finished with your audio settings for ReCycle. The settings you just
made are stored automatically.
