For each selected monitoring setting a matrix display also opens which shows which buffer
sizes are used and what effect the currently selected engine mode has on the latencies.
Hybrid Audio Engine
In general, "hybrid" refers to a system in which two separate technologies are combined
with one another. The Hybrid Audio Engine in Samplitude includes a combination of a low
latency and the classical Samplitude playback engine with higher latency whereby a clearly
defined signal flow between the two exists. The Low Latency Engine reduces response
times when calculating track effects and enables live monitoring at lower latencies. The
integrated classical playback engine, on the other hand, increases performance which
allows the integration of sophisticated object effects, object auxiliaries, and object surround
functions. The Hybrid Audio Engine is based on the ASIO driver system and, thanks to its
low input/output delay at the same performance levels, optimizes the system especially
when working with software instruments and other plug-ins.
Go to System Settings (shortcut "Y") >"Audio Setup" > "Driver System", and select "ASIO".
While ASIO generally ensures that latency, independent of the hardware load, does not
accept values that are too large, a low latency function can also be used if you tick the
"Hybrid Engine"/"Performance Mixer" box in the Monitoring Settings. The Hybrid Engine
facilitates audio monitoring including track effects in the record track and also calculates
