What is the optimal buffer size?

What is the optimal buffer size?

A good buffer size for recording is 128 samples, but you can also get away with raising the buffer size up to 256 samples without being able to detect much latency in the signal. You can also decrease the buffer size below 128, but then some plugins and effects may not run in real time.

How do you determine buffer size?

Which Setting Should I Use? It depends, most DAWs will have different buffer size 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 and 1024, when you are recording, you need to monitor your input signal in real time, so choosing lower buffer size like 32 or 64 with quicker information processing speed to avoid latency.

How do I change the buffer size in Windows 10?

What ASIO buffer size should I use?

Usually, an ASIO buffer size (in terms of samples) that is a power of two is preferred. In most DAWs sample processing is more efficient if such an “even” number is chosen. So in the above example, we round up to the next power of two and end up with 256 samples at 44100 Hz and 512 samples at 96000 Hz.

How do I change buffer size in ASIO?

Changing the buffer size/sample rate of an ASIO Audio Interface

  1. Open Live’s Preferences and go to the Audio tab.
  2. Click the ‘Hardware Setup’ button.
  3. Change the Buffer Size or Sample Rate in the control panel of the audio interface itself.
