Latency can be manipulated by changing the size of the buffers used to transfer data to and from Hilo. Core Audio
buffer size controls are offered within most pro audio recording applications. With Hilo, buffer sizes typically range
between 32 and 2048 samples.

Smaller buffer sizes will give you lower latency. However, if a buffer size is too small for the system or context, audio
anomalies such as clicks and pops may occur. It is recommended to become familiar with altering the Hilo buffer size
to best suit the context of use.

Once you determine the lowest achievable buffer size, you will typically have to double the size each time you double
the sample rate, but the effective latency will remain constant
. For example, if a system is capable of operating at a
buffer size of 128 samples at 48 kHz, then for a 96 kHz project, the buffer size will likely need to be increased to 256
samples.
