Converter Compensation (WDM)
A new checkbox has been added in the Control Panel Settings tab on the Windows
platform called “Compensate for converter delay”. When enabled, this compensates for
the A/D and D/A converter chips' inherent delay in WDM client apps. In Sonar, enabling
this switch also requires the number of Buffers in Playback Queue get set to a minimum
of 3 in Sonar’s audio configuration window as shown below. When the switch is not
enabled, you can set the number of buffers to a minimum of 2 and you'll get less absolute
latency, but the A/D, D/A delays won't be compensated.
For example:
· Enabling this switch when synchronizing to external time code will ensure audio
gets written into the project at exactly the correct location relative to the incoming
time code.
· Disabling this switch will allow the lowest possible performance latency for
virtual instruments and audio monitoring through the DAW.
