LATENCY
Sets the latency of the USB driver.

also increases latency (audio signal delay).
Set this value to best suit your system.

About latency
ª
This unit’s driver momentarily stores audio
input and output signals in a buffer. The size
of the buffer can be adjusted.
The smaller the buffer is, the shorter the
delay is when monitoring the input audio
signal. Smaller buffers, however, require more
computer processing at high speed. If other
system processes, for example, prevent the
audio processing from being completed in
time, clicking and popping noises, dropouts
and other issues could occur with the audio
signal.
On the other hand, the larger the buffer size,
the more stable operation becomes, making
interference from other system processes less
likely to affect the audio signal. However, the
delay when monitoring the audio signal also
becomes longer.
With this unit, you can adjust the buffer size
according to the capability of your system
and your audio needs.
