Adjusting the Buffer Size

In a VST System Link network, adjusting the buffer size to minimize latency is extra important. This is due to the fact that the latency of a VST System Link network is the total latency of all the ASIO cards in the system added together.

Procedure

  1. Select Studio > Studio Setup.
  2. In the Devices list, select your audio hardware.
  3. Click Control Panel.
  4. Lower the size of the buffers.

    The lower the buffer size, the lower the latency. It is best to keep to fairly low buffer sizes if your system can handle it. About 12 ms or less is usually a good idea.

    Important

    Latency does not affect the synchronization, but it can affect the time it takes to send and receive MIDI and audio signals, or make the system seem sluggish.
