For special user cases you can set and save your own buffer settings. In addition, special
presets are available, for example for scrubbing and ASIO applications.
Program buffer (in stereo samples)
VIP Object Buffer: As error-free playback is usually more important than fast reaction
times, this value should be increased when playing lots of tracks. This is the only setting
relevant for playback and editing in the VIP.
HD/Scrub buffer: This buffer is put into use during direct playback of HD Wave projects.
You can try out smaller values here, to procure faster reaction times.
Test buffer: This buffer is only used for realtime previewing the effects from the effects
menu.
Buffer Number: Here you can specify how many of the buffers described above should be
used. More buffers increase reliability, but also increase the memory requirements.
Reaction times become longer. You can check the current buffer usage levels in the status
bar to the bottom right. We recommend that between 4 and 6 buffers be used.
Hard disk performance/Track speed
With the help of the TrackSpeed technology you can increase the number of hard disk
drives simultaneously playable in Samplitude. TrackSpeed uses your PC's RAM to
intelligently and effectively preload the necessary audio data.
By using TrackSpeed, the internal audio engine of Samplitude can work even when it uses
many tracks with small audio buffers (for example, 8000 samples or less), without hurting
performance. This makes short reaction times between user interferences possible, for
example on mixer and on various object handles.
There are some settings, using which TrackSpeed can be customized to your individual
needs.
