SETTING WINDOWS DRIVER LATENCY
Since USB sends data in “packets” and each packet can have a differ-
ent number of samples, audio buffers which are aligned on the power
of two basis (64, 128, 256) may not always be in sync.
Depending on your computer’s speed and other tasks it may be trying
to perform while streaming audio, such as network operations, sync
errors can cause various audio artifacts. This is usually computer-spe-
cific, leading to the need for some experimentation with the Latency
(buffer) setting in the Aphex control panel. For example, 9.5ms or
10.5ms may be better than 10ms on some computers while 6ms may
give better results than higher buffer sizes on other computers. Once
configured, it usually does not need any subsequent changes.
USING IN2 WITH IPAD

iPad-4 running iOS version 6.1.3 and using the Apple Camera Con-
nection kit and the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.
