Asio buffer size

For instance, in the case of a typical ASIO buffer size of 256 samples in a 44.1kHz project, latency is 256/44100, or 5.8ms, normally rounded to 6ms. Similarly, a 256-sample buffer in a 96kHz project would provide 256/96000, or 2.6ms latency.

Does ASIO buffer size affect sound quality?

Buffer size will not affect your audio quality, so don't worry using the lowest buffer size, the only thing it will affect is processing speed and latency.

What should my buffer size be?

A good buffer size for recording is 128 samples, but you can also get away with raising the buffer size up to 256 samples without being able to detect much latency in the signal. You can also decrease the buffer size below 128, but then some plugins and effects may not run in real time.

What does increasing buffer size do?

Increasing the buffer size will allow more time for the audio to be captured without distortion. It is important to find the right buffer size for your session as this can vary depending on the number of tracks, plug-ins, audio files etc. ... Set the buffer size as low as you can to reduce latency.

How do I increase the buffer size in ASIO?

Changing the buffer size/sample rate of an ASIO Audio Interface

1. Open Live's Preferences and go to the Audio tab.
2. Click the 'Hardware Setup' button.
3. Change the Buffer Size or Sample Rate in the control panel of the audio interface itself.
