SERVER ASSIGNMENT MENU: OTHER FUNCTIONS
The Server Assignment menu, in addition to
assigning servers to a SuperRack, is used to set the
server network buffer, select colors for easier
identification of servers, provide information about
the server, and unassign the server from this

Server Network Buffer

40-96 samples

80-192 samples.
Default: 80 samples (0.8

Sets the amount of time it takes for audio to stream from the
I/O or driver to the server and back. This determines the
speed of real-time processing. Lower settings result in lower
system latency and greater responsiveness. Higher settings
yield more stability but greater latency.
If you encounter pops or similar errors, increase the buffer
setting. The buffer size is set in samples but is also displayed
in milliseconds.
