Changing the audio device buffer size
You can change the audio buffer size, for example, if the current buffer size is causing notes
input using MIDI recording appear
signicantly after the beat.
NOTE
● If the notes you play when recording MIDI are notated behind the beat, we recommend that
you reduce the buffer size for your audio device to the lowest possible value that still
produces stable playback with no drop-outs.
● The built-in audio device on Windows computers cannot always achieve a low enough
latency for reliable input in real time. In such cases, we recommend that you use an external
USB audio interface with ASIO support.
PROCEDURE
1. Choose Edit > Device Setup to open the Device Setup dialog.
2. In the Device Setup dialog, select the audio device whose buffer size you want to change
from the ASIO Driver menu.
3. Click Device Control Panel to open the device settings dialog for the selected audio device.
4. In the audio device settings dialog, change the buffer size in one of the following ways, as
appropriate for your operating system:
● For Windows systems, in the Audio buffer size section, either drag the slider to a
different position or activate User denable and change the value in the Selected
buffer size eld.
● For macOS systems, select a sample rate from the Buffer Size menu.
5. Click OK (Windows)/Close (macOS) to close the audio device settings dialog.
6. Click Close to close the Device Setup dialog.
