ESI U46 SE - Manual (Page 14)

U46 SE ESI
EX5. Recording from GigaStudio (GSIF) to Cubase (ASIO)
6. Applications Setup
This chapter contains basic configuration examples for some popular software applications. Please
also refer to the manual of the audio software you use for detailed information.
6.1 Windows Multimedia setup
The Windows Multimedia setup is required if you want to use your U46 SE system as the main
sound device for Windows multimedia applications. Go to My computer-> Control panel ->
Sounds and Audio Device Properties -> Audio. Select the U46 SE entry as your playback device to
make sure that all standard signals are played via the U46 SE hardware.
6.2 Latency setting and ASIO applications
Via Config > Latency in the Control Panel it is possible to change the latency setting (also called
“buffer size”) for the ASIO driver of U46 SE. A smaller latency is the result of a smaller buffer size.
Depending on the typical application (e.g. for playback of software synthesizers) a smaller latency
is an advantage. At the same time, the best latency setting indirectly depends on the performance of
your system. For recording applications, a typical latency buffer size between 128 and 512 samples
is standard. The default value is 256. Note that the latency has to be setup before launching the
ASIO application using U46 SE.
