Buer Size
The Buer Size Viewer dialog lets you inspect the buer sizes that your host uses.
If you are using Ozone at low latencies, you may experience unusually high CPU usage. Ozone allows
you to tweak several buer sizes in order to optimize CPU usage for your host application settings.
Some host applications make it very easy to see what your buer sizes are, but it can be more dicult
to determine in others. For that reason, Ozone provides this dialog to let you find out exactly what
buer sizes are being sent to the plug-in.
To use this dialog, simply launch it by clicking the View Buers button on the General tab of the
Options screen. Then use the following controls:
Captured Buer Sizes
This list-box shows the buers you have captured thus far. The number on the left is the input buer
size, and the number on the right is the output buer size.
Note that the input and output buer sizes will be equal in Pro Tools, VST, AU, and MAS versions of
Ozone, but in the DirectX version if delay compensation is enabled then the sizes may dier. When
tweaking buer sizes, you’re interested in the number on the left, which is the host application’s buer
size.
Start/Stop
Push “Start” to begin capturing buer sizes. Now each time a buer is sent to the plug-in, it will be
added to the list of captured buer sizes for you to see. Push “Stop” to stop capturing buer sizes.
Note that buers are sent in very rapid succession to the plug-in, and after 100 buer sizes are
captured, the capturing will automatically be stopped.
Clear
Clears the list of captured buer sizes.
Copy
Copies the list of gathered buer sizes to the Windows/OS X clipboard, useful for pasting into a
support e-mail if necessary. See Buer Sizes for more info.
