ASIO Control Panel – Mac OS 8/9
In all ASIO programs you can access the ASIO control panel that lets you
control certain driver settings for your Echo24 card. Each ASIO program
has a different name for it (ASIO Device Control Panel, Hardware Settings,
Driver Setup, etc…) and a different way of accessing it.
The “Allow ASIO 2 Direct Monitoring” checkbox does exactly what it say it
does. If you don’t want the option of using Direct Monitoring, then make
sure this box is unchecked.
The last control is labeled “Buffer size,” which allows you to change the
buffer size so you can get lower latency. Generally, a smaller buffer size will
result in a lower latency. However, the speed of your computer processor
may also affect this. If you have a really slow machine, then using a very
small buffer size may cause you to have breakups in your audio. If this
happens, then just make the buffer size larger until you no longer hear the
breakups.
The topmost setting, “Use 96 kHz capable cards only,” doesn’t apply to just
using one Echo card by itself. This setting only applies in the following
scenario:
 You want to play and record at 88.2 or 96 kHz
57
 You have at least two of the following installed: Gina24, Layla24,
Mona, Mia, or MiaMIDI
