M-AUDIO OmniStudio USB - Manual (Page 28)

Latency
Latency is defined as the time it takes for your input signal to pass through your audio software and appear at the outputs. Smaller buffer
sizes result in lower latency, but may not function well with slower systems. This drop-down menu selects the buffer size OmniStudio USB
uses to handle digital audio streaming.
The default Latency setting is “Medium.” This setting may adequately serve your purposes, particularly with OmniStudio USB’s advanced
direct monitoring features. However, you can experiment with lower settings if you wish. If you experience stuttering or crackling in your
audio playback, try using a higher Latency setting.
NOTE: Using your audio software, it is possible to select other “pull-down” rates within each range. For example, you can
select “4 in, 2 out, 24-bit, 48kHz” and then use your audio application to select 44.1kHz.
