confirm the DAW driver settings first after
installing the driver for this unit. Check the
manuals for the software that you are using
for details about how to make these settings.
For the bundled Cubase LE 5 software, see
the manual on the included Cubase LE 5

The sound breaks up or there is
ª
noise.
The processing load on the computer can
cause sound to break up and noise to occur.
Some ways to reduce the load on a computer
are introduced below.
1) If a wireless LAN, antivirus software
or other software are running in the
background, they regularly use the
computer’s CPU, and this burden can
cause sound to break up and noise to
occur.
Stop wireless LAN transmission, antivirus
software and other software running in
the background when using this unit.
2) Try increasing the buffer size (latency)
setting in the audio application that you
are using and/or in the control panel for
this unit.
NOTE
Consult the maker of your audio application
for methods to reduce its burden on your
computer.
3) Change the settings of your computer
so that they are optimal for audio
processing.
