the response, but with the trade-off of higher processor usage and the risk of audio dropouts.
Raise the value if you are getting inconsistent playback or recording in the audio software.
Basically, 512 is generally a good average setting.*
*Note that TonePort and GuitarPort devices also offer ToneDirect
TM Monitoring, which is a
separate audio path with its own Buffer setting. This allows you to keep the above ASIO Buffer
Size at a “safer”, higher value, yet still benefit from low latency monitoring of your input signal
while recording. Similarly, PODxt devices offer a USB audio buffer which provides an
independent, direct monitor signal with its own buffer adjustment as well. More info on
ToneDirect monitoring can be found in this
section .
7 – Bit Depth: The ASIO bit depth in use. Note this field is only active when in use by an ASIO
application. It is best to use the highest bit rate your ASIO software will support to ensure high
quality audio.
8 – Sample Rate Converter:
TonePort & GuitarPort devices support 44,100 Hz and 48,000 Hz sample rates natively.
However, they will also support 88,200 and 96,000 Hz sample rates by way of an internal
sample rate converter. This indicator lights up to show you when this converter is active, which
can be any time your ASIO software is requesting a different sample rate you’re your device
“natively” supports or is “fixed” at. Also see the Force Driver Format checkbox option.
PODxt devices function at their own “fixed” internal sample rate, therefore, you will see this
Sample Rate Converter indicator light up all the time.
9 – Input Source Select: This is a mirrored control for the Source Select within the GearBox
application where it allows the user to select which physical input is used on the device. Note that
this control is ONLY selectable when the GearBox software is not in use by the current device.
When GearBox is in use, it remains grayed out, but displays the current Source that is selected
within GearBox (as shown in the example above).
When Gearbox is not in use by the selected Line 6 device, this Input Source Select, like the
Source Select in the GearBox application, offers a list of input options when TonePort is the
selected device.
When GearBox is not in use, the Input
Source Select menu is available. As
shown here, TonePort devices offer
several input Sources to choose from.
The selected Source is what gets routed
to the Device Sends.
