standards.
Using the settings utility software
 Launching the settings utility software
Click the Windows [Start] menu>[All Programs]>[Pioneer
]>[DDJ]>[Pioneer DDJ ASIO Settings Utility].
 Adjusting the buffer size
The setting at [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] in the ITCH software’s
[SETUP] menu has priority for the buffer size. (The default setting is 512
samples/10 ms.)
= GENERAL (p.30)
! If an application using this unit as the default audio device (DJ
software, etc.) is running, quit that application before adjusting the
buffer size.
! If the [Buffer Size] or [Kernel Buffers] number is made large, drops
in the data (breaks in the sound), etc., occur less easily, but the time
lag due to transmission delays in the audio data (latency) increases.
 If breaks in the sound occur with the default
setting
1 Launch [Pioneer DDJ ASIO Settings Utility] and
change [Kernel Buffers] to [4].
2 Set [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] to the lowest buffer
size at which no breaks in the sound occur.
 If no breaks in the sound occur with the default
setting
1 Set [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] to the lowest buffer
size at which no breaks in the sound occur.
2 Launch [Pioneer DDJ ASIO Settings Utility], change
[Kernel Buffers] to [2], and check that no breaks in the
sound occur.
3 If no breaks in the sound occur, set [USB BUFFER SIZE
(LATENCY)] to the lowest buffer size at which no breaks
in the sound occur.
4 If breaks in the sound occur, change [Kernel Buffers]
to [3].
