Improving Audio
Performance
Digital audio presents several challenges: it is large, gobbling up enormous
amounts of disk space, especially at higher sampling rates and bit-depths, and it is
CPU-intensive. Added to this mix is the wide variety of audio hardware available
today. This chapter covers some common problems with recording and playback
and how to configure your computer and audio hardware for optimum
performance.
Note: One of the quickest ways to improve audio performance is to use WDM or
ASIO sound card drivers instead of the older MME type. See “WDM vs. MME
Drivers” on page 638.
