Buffer Size (Windows)
Note: Buffer Size is available on Windows systems only. On Mac systems, the
hardware I/O buffer size is set within the DAW application.
This setting determines the hardware I/O buffer size used by a DAW. As values are
decreased, DAW throughput latency decreases, but the computer’s CPU load increases.
Conversely, as I/O buffer size values are increased, DAW throughput latency increases,
and the computer’s CPU load is reduced. For related information, see Latency Basics.
Available buffer size values are dependent on the current Sample Rate value. If values in
the Buffer Size menu are gray and cannot be selected, change the Sample Rate value.
Note: If audio artifacts occur during DAW playback (clicks, pops, stuttering, etc),
the buffer size may need to be increased.
Important: Buffer Size applies to use with a DAW only. It has no effect on
Console’s hardware monitoring features or Realtime UAD Processing within
Console.
Monitor Operating Level
The MON LEVEL menu switches the operating level of the monitor outputs. Available
selections are 20 dBu (louder) and 14 dBu (quieter).
Input Delay Compensation
Input Delay Compensation maintains phase alignment
across Console’s analog and digital inputs when certain
UAD plug-ins are used. See Input Delay Compensation
in Console for a complete explanation of this feature.
When enabling Input Delay Compensation, it’s usually
best to start with the Short value (100 samples) to
minimize latency. The default value is Medium.
Note: Changes to this setting do not take effect until the DAW is quit.
