IF-FW/DM Control Panel (Windows)
There are three sliders available in the con-
trol panel. Generally, lower audio buffer
settings offer lower latency but require a
more powerful computer. It may be neces-
sary to experiment with these settings to find
the lowest setting your computer is capable
of running. The most common symptom of
settings that are too low for a particular com-
puter is clicks & pops in the audio.
The three sliders are:
Stream buffer depth
Use this slider to control the size of the
incoming 1394 audio stream. The larger
the buffer size, the more latency in the
audio. Too small of a buffer size can
introduce clicks and pops in the audio.
ASIO buffer depth
Use this slider to reduce/increase latency
when using a Steinberg ASIO application
or when using Sonar in ASIO mode.
WDM sound buffer depth
Use this slider to reduce/increase latency
when using a WDM application such as
Sonar.
After adjusting the sliders, press Apply to set
the changes.
NOTE
If the status says “trying to lock” and does not
change in several seconds, reboot the com-
puter. This may happen if the sample rate or
clock source for the mixer is changed without
removing the FireWire cable first.
