Audio Buffer Size
You can adjust the audio input/output buffer size. (The default setting is the sixth step from the left.)
Decreasing the buffer size will decrease the latency and improve the realtime response. However,
depending on the processing power of your computer and the complexity of your song data, this
may make clicks and pops during recording or playback more likely.
Increasing the buffer size will increase the latency, but will make audio data transfer more stable,
decreasing the likelihood of clicks and pops.
If you’re playing a software synthesizer in real time or using your DAW software to monitor the
“thru” signal of the audio input, you should decrease the buffer size in order to improve the realtime
response.
