with settings that are different from the OS settings, so
confirm the DAW settings first after installing the dedicated
software for this unit.

Sound breaks up or there is noise.
The processing load on the computer causes sound to break up
and noise to occur.
Here are some methods to reduce the load on the computer.
1. Memory-resident programs, such as wireless LAN and
antivirus software, regularly place processing load on the
computer, which can cause sound to break up and other
noise. Stop wireless LAN transmission, antivirus software and
other software running in the background when using this
unit.
2. Set the buffer size (latency) in the audio application that you
are using or in this unit's Settings Panel to a larger value.
(Windows only)
NOTE
Consult the maker of the audio application that you are
using for methods to reduce its load on your computer.
3. Change the settings of your computer so that they are
optimal for audio processing.
