You can choose if the audio input is used for the S2L - Sound2Light Effects and M2L - Music2Light

Effects. This is highly recommended. Therefore, both options for this, "Use For S2L Effects" and

"Use For M2L Effects" are activated by default.

In the next step, select your interface or sound card in the drop-down list called "Audio Device".

Afterwards, please select the appropriate device for the left audio channel "L" as well as the right

audio channel "R". You may select any channel you want. If you wish, it is also possible to select

the same channel for left and right. If you are seeing the message "not connected or in use"

(like shown in the picture), please connect your ASIO device and/or make sure to select a channel

for "L" and "R". Please press "Apply" after changing the settings.

You can configure your ASIO device by pressing the "Configuration" button.

The ASIO drivers that come with your interface will be launched. Please make sure that your ASIO

hardware is connected. Or else, it is possible that no configuration dialog will be launched.

In this configuration dialog you can set various settings. The music analysis will be more precise if

the latency / amount of samples is as low as possible. Sometimes, this setting is called 'Buffersize'.

You can achieve milliseconds with ASIO. 1000 frames represent 1 ms. 500 frames represent 2 ms.

250 frames represent 4 ms, and so on. You will be able to see the number of frames that is

captured in the Task Watcher.

If you are encountering problems, please change the latency settings. For example, effects might

freeze or single frequencies might over modulate. A higher latency can solve the problem.
