ASIO Driver Control Panel
Configuring ASIO Driver settings can be done 
using the ASIO Control Panel, which is accessed 
within some third-party ASIO-compatible client 
applications.
Accessing the ASIO Driver Control 
Panel
To access the ASIO Driver Control Panel from a 
third-party application:
 Refer to your ASIO-client program’s documen-
tation.
The ASIO Driver Control Panel cannot be ac-
cessed under the following circumstances:
• When Pro Tools is running.
• When playing or recording in an audio 
program that does not support the ASIO 
Driver. 
• When using a third-party audio program 
that has an option to keep the ASIO Driver 
open even when you are not playing or re-
cording. (You must close the audio pro-
gram before you can open the ASIO Driver 
Control Panel.)
Example with Ableton Live
For example, with Ableton Live, click the Hard-
ware Setup button in the Audio Preferences.
Using the ASIO Driver Control 
Panel
From the ASIO Driver Control Panel, you can 
change the Buffer Size setting or access the Hard-
ware Setup dialog for your Pro Tools hardware.
