8. Configuring the Babyface Pro

8.1 Settings Dialog - General

Configuration of the Babyface Pro is done via its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can

be opened:

x by clicking on the fire symbol in the Task Bar's notification area

The mixer of the Babyface Pro (TotalMix FX) can be opened:

x by clicking on the FX symbol in the Task Bar's notification area

The hardware of the Babyface Pro offers a number of helpful, well thought-out practical func-

tions and options which affect how the card operates. The following is available in the Settings

dialog:

x Latency

x Configuration of the digital I/O

x Current sample rate

x Synchronization behaviour

x State of input and output

Any changes made in the Settings

dialog are applied immediately -

confirmation (e.g. by clicking on

OK or exiting the dialog) is not

required.

However, settings should not be

changed during playback or record

if it can be avoided, as this can

cause unwanted noises.

Also, please note that even in

'Stop' mode, several programs

keep the recording and playback

devices active, which means that

any new settings might not be

applied immediately.

The tab About includes

information about the current

driver and firmware version plus

three more options:

Lock Registry

Default: off. Checking this option brings up a dialog to enter a password. Changes in the Set-

tings dialog are no longer written to the registry. As the settings are always loaded from the

registry when starting the computer, this method provides an easy way to define an initial state

for the Babyface Pro.

Enable MMCSS for ASIO activates support with higher priority for the ASIO driver. Note: At this

time, activating this option seems to be useful only with the latest Cubase/Nuendo at higher

load. With other software this option can decrease performance. The change becomes active

after an ASIO reset. Therefore it is easy to quickly check which setting works better.

Sort ASIO Devices

Changes the order only of the ASIO channels when using more than one interface.
