ESI U108 PRE
10
3.1 Latency settings
Under Windows via Config > Latency in the Control Panel it is possible to change the latency
setting (also called “buffer size”) for the driver of U108 PRE. A smaller latency is the result of a
smaller buffer size and value. Depending on the typical application (e.g. for playback of software
synthesizers) a smaller latency is an advantage. At the same time, the best latency setting indirectly
depends on the performance of your system. For recording applications, a typical latency buffer size
between 4 and 8ms is standard, a value displayed typically inside your audio application. Note that
the latency has to be setup before launching the audio application using U108 PRE.
Under macOS, the latency is depending on the audio application and usually setup there inside the
settings of that software.
