THE FIREWIRE DRIVER CONTROL PANEL (PC)

Click Synchronisation to view the sta-

tus and access control over the sync

options.

The clock master can be set to be the

ICE-16 internal clock (recommended)

or the pc driver.

The sample rate can be selected to be

set manually or by the clock master.

Manually is recommended as a default,

the sample rate can still be set by your

DAW in this setting.

The sample rate option box will display

the current sample rate and a drop

down selection will show available rates

if in manual set mode.

The Settings page of the control panel

shows the buffer depths for the audio

data stream and the ASIO and Win-

dows driver.

You can adjust the settings using the

sliders to increase or decrease the

buffer depth depending on your com-

puter system. For minimum latency use

lower buffer depths. Increase them if

you experience audio dropouts or

clicks.

Click Streams in the menu pane to view

details of the digital audio data stream

and synchronisation connectors.

Important! If you change Synchro-

nisation Mode to “Slave to Audio

Clock Master”, ensure you swap

back to “Device Internal Clock”

before using ICE for USB direct

recording.
