8. Configuring the Babyface Pro

8.1 Settings Dialog - General

Configuration of the Babyface Pro is done via its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can
be opened:

•

by clicking on the fire symbol in the Task Bar's notification area

The mixer of the Babyface Pro (TotalMix FX) can be opened:

•

by clicking on the FX symbol in the Task Bar's notification area

The hardware of the Babyface Pro offers a number of helpful, well thought-out practical func-
tions and options which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many differ-
ent requirements.

The following is available in the Settings dialog:

•

Latency

•

Operation of the DSP

•

Configuration of the digital I/O

•

Current sample rate

•

Synchronization

behaviour

•

State of input and output

Any changes made in the Settings
dialog are applied immediately -
confirmation (e.g. by clicking on
OK or exiting the dialog) is not
required.

However, settings should not be
changed during playback or
record if it can be avoided, as this
can cause unwanted noises.

Also, please note that even in
'Stop' mode, several programs
keep the recording and playback
devices active, which means that
any new settings might not be
applied immediately.

The tab

About

includes

information about the current
driver and firmware version plus
two more options:

Lock Registry

Default: off. Checking this option brings up a dialog to enter a password. Changes in the Set-
tings dialog are no longer written to the registry. As the settings are always loaded from the
registry when starting the computer, this method provides an easy way to define an initial state
for the Babyface Pro.

Enable MMCSS for ASIO

activates support with higher priority for the ASIO driver. Note: At this

time, activating this option seems to be useful only with the latest Cubase/Nuendo at higher
load. With other software this option can decrease performance. The change becomes active
after an ASIO reset. Therefore it is easy to quickly check which setting works better.
