4 – US-200 control panel settings
Overview
The Control Panel lets you make various
settings for the US-200’s functionality.
On Windows, the
US-200 Control Panel
shortcut can be found in the Windows Start
menu > Control Panel or the Start menu > All
Programs > TASCAM .
On Mac OS X, the US-200 Control Panel is
located in the Applications folder. Other
useful audio and MIDI settings for Mac OS X
can be found in
Applications/Utilities/Audio
MIDI Setup .
The Control Panel is divided into the following
two sections.

Audio Performance
The US-200 driver temporarily stores input
and output audio sample in buffers. The size
of these buffers can be adjusted. A smaller
buffer size will reduce the delay when
monitoring the audio signal, but will require
your computer to perform the processing
faster. If the processing does not occur in
time (e.g., if other system operations are
occurring), you may hear clicks, pops, or
dropouts in the audio signal. A larger buffer
size provides more safety against such
problems caused by other system activities,
but will produce greater delay when
monitoring the audio signal. You should
select the buffer size that works best for your
system.
On the Windows version of the US-200
Control Panel, the
Audio Performance setting
permits you to adjust the buffer size that
will be used by all audio applications. The
lowest latency setting is the minimum buffer
size, and the
highest latency
setting is the
maximum buffer size.
On Mac OS X, the buffer size is determined
by each audio application. Consequently,
there is no
Audio Performance
setting on
the Mac OS X version of the US-200 Control
Panel. Some applications select the buffer
size automatically while others permit the
user to select the buffer size. Please consult
your audio application’s documentation for
details.
