A pop-up window opens in which the buffer size can be set. Under "Audio Connection" click on "Setup.". Sequel: In order to change the latency/buffer in Sequel open the "Program Settings Page" (lowest Symbol in the Multi Zone).Refer to the operation manual of your Cubase/Nuendo version for further details. Here you can enter the buffer size directly or, after clicking the "Settings." button or the audio hardware entry -> "Control Panel", in another dialog window. Depending on the program version you'll find the entry of your audio interface in the "Devices" list under "Multitrack", "VST Audiobay" or "VST Audio System". Cubase and Nuendo: In Cubase and Nuendo the latency of the audio interface can be set in the dialog "Device Setup" ("Devices > Device Setup.").
Under Mac OS X the buffer/latency can be adjusted in the respective application. For example, elaborate tasks like the calculation of demanding effects or the usage of complex virtual synthesizers ask for higher latencies than the basic playback of audio files. The respective application also plays a decisive role. The lowest possible latency depends on many factors, particularly on the audio interface, the corresponding driver and the general performance of the computer. Crackles and clicks or stuttering playback are typical signs for an overcharged system. If the buffer is too small the audio card has not enough time for processing the audio signal completely. Unfortunately the buffer cannot be set to any desired value.
The bigger the buffer the more time is available for the system to process the signal and the longer is the latency/delay of the signal. Demanding users can be annoyed even by a delay of a few milliseconds, latencies of 20 ms or more are clearly audible to less trained ears.ĭedicated audio interfaces offer the possibility to adjust the latency by changing the buffer size. The consequent delay is referred to as latency and mainly caused by the so called buffer of the audio card driver. Most crucial is the period between the moment in which the sequencer (Cubase, Nuendo or Sequel) is passing an audio signal to the audio hardware and the moment in which the signal is actually available at the analog output of the audio interface and thus audible. Every computer based music system needs some time for calculating and generating audio.
