Native Instruments Audio 4 DJ - Soundcard Latency Settings

AUDIO 4 DJ – 28
7.2.2 Soundcard Latency Settings
Any signal going into the computer has to go through two buffers: once through the USB
bus and once through the ASIO driver. On every path, latency is created.
PreSetS: Select a preset that has already precongured values for the uSb and the
Audio buffer Size. Choosing User dened Settings allows you to choose an uSb buffer
Size independently from the Audio buffer Size.
uSb b uffer S ize : If you have chosen User dened Settings, you can choose here an
uSb buffer Size value. Available values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 16 ms.
Audio buffer Size: If you have chosen User dened Settings, you can choose here and
Audio buffer Size value. The values depend on the chosen uSb buffer Size value. If
you have chosen a high USB Buffer Size, the lower Audio buffer Size values are not
available. If you have chosen the lowest uSb buffer Size value (1 ms), all options are
available: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16, 32 and 64 ms.
