Buffer Size (Windows only)
The driver for the unit stores the audio input and output
signals transferred to and from the computer temporarily in
a buffer. This buffer size can be adjusted.
Smaller buffer sizes result in less audio signal delay (latency),
but require high-speed processing by the computer.
If the processing cannot keep up, for example, due to other
system operations, clicking and popping noises might occur
and the audio signal might even drop out.
Increasing the buffer size will stabilize operation and
suppress negative effects on audio signals, but the delay in
audio signals sent to the computer will increase.
You can use the slider on the panel to adjust the buffer size,
according to the use conditions.
Use the slider to select fixed values that increase from left to
right (64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 and 2048 samples).
