The _samples values must be integer values, the _millisecs and _buffers values can be fractional.
ASIO Delay
A small delay can be introduced to the AsioSnd driverset's ASIO buffer processing. This can sometimes be
used to work around certain sound device/mainboard/driver incompatibilities if these symptoms occur:
1. Recording a MIDI track using a soft instrument sounds fine while recording.
2. But it sounds gargled or extremely glitchy when played back.
To add an ASIO delay open the 'C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\MtStudio\AsioSnd
Settings.txt' (XP) or 'C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\MtStudio\AsioSnd Settings.txt' (Vista) file in
NotePad and add a 'AsioDelay=' line in the [Settings] section like this:
[Settings]
AsioDelay=20000
The value has to be determined experimentally (the higher the value the longer the delay. MultitrackStudio
should be restarted after editing the file.
ASIO MMCSS
Windows Vista features MMCSS (Multimedia Class Scheduler Service), which can help prevent glitches
under high CPU load. While it's an ASIO driver's job to enable this many don't. You can add a 'MMCSS=1'
line to the 'AsioSnd Settings.txt' file (see previous section) file to make MultitrackStudio turn on MMCSS.
This line should appear in the [Settings] section:
[Settings]
MMCSS=1
MultitrackStudio should be restarted after editing the file.
Note that not every ASIO driver will necessarily be happy with this. If it performs worse you should remove
the line again.
