28 SYSTEM SETTINGS
• Advanced hardware monitoring options via use of ASIO direct monitoring are also
available.
ASIO settings
ASIO drivers: Choose the sound card driver which you would like to work with. The drivers
of all ASIO devices installed on the system will be listed here. Clicking on the "Settings"
button opens the settings dialog for the sound card driver. In the display field beside "ASIO
buffer" you'll see the buffer size and bit rate set for the driver. Additionally, Samplitude
shows you the relevant output and input latencies.
Buffer settings: The VIP object buffer displays the buffer size for the internal processing of
object effects and economy tracks in hybrid mode. In every other monitoring mode it also
determines the editing of track effects. With a smaller VIP object buffer size the amount of
playback delay also sinks (latency). Nevertheless, the processor can be overloaded, and
the effects of this can be heard as interruptions during playback. Large buffer size in fact
increases the stability, but also the latency of the system. In the field below this the
resulting latency is displayed respective to the buffer settings.
Tip: The VIP object buffer size should usually be between 1024 and 8096 samples.
The VIP object buffer size must be at least as large as the ASIO buffer size, and
double the size when the Hybrid Engine is used.
Device query/Driver communication: Here you can specify the bit rate for
communicating with the audio driver for recording and playback. The preset value
correlates to the value on the sound card installed on your system. If the output device is
not able to display at the desired rate, an appropriate lower rate will be dithered and sent to
the driver.
Monitoring settings
Monitoring is defined as listening to the input signals of a recording system, for example,
with the intention of returning these to the musician playing in the music. The routing of
monitor signals is an important and complex process underlying different requirements.
In most cases we recommend using the "Mixer FX Monitoring / Hybrid Engine".
