Settings for the audio hardware

When you exchange VST System Link data between computers, it is important that the digital information is not changed in any way between the programs. Therefore, you should open the control panel (or additional application) for your audio hardware and make sure that the following conditions are met:

• If there are additional “format settings” for the digital ports that you use for VST System Link data, make sure that these are turned off.

  For example, if you are using an S/PDIF connection for VST System Link, make sure that “Professional format”, Emphasis, and Dithering are turned off.

• If your audio hardware has a mixer application allowing you to adjust the levels of digital inputs and outputs, make sure that this mixer is disabled or that the levels for the VST System Link channels are set to ±0 dB.

• Similarly, make sure no other forms of DSP (pan, effects, etc.) are applied to the VST System Link signal.
