ASIO-Guard Latency
High ASIO-Guard levels lead to an increased ASIO-Guard latency. When you adjust a volume
fader, for example, you will hear the parameter changes with a slight delay. The ASIO-Guard
latency, in contrast to the latency of the audio hardware, is independent from live input.
Restrictions
The ASIO-Guard cannot be used for:
Real time-dependent signals
External effects and instruments
NOTE
If you select Studio> VST Plug-in Manager and click Show VST Plug-in Information, you can
deactivate the ASIO-Guard option for selected plug-ins.
If you activate the monitoring for an input channel, a MIDI instrument, or a VST instrument
channel, the audio channel and all dependent channels are automatically switched from ASIO-
Guard to real time processing and vice versa. This results in a gentle fade out and fade in of the
audio channel.

Activating the ASIO-Guard
PROCEDURE
1. Select Studio> Studio Setup.
2. In the Devices list, select Audio System.
3. Activate the Activate ASIO-Guard option.
NOTE
This option is only available if you activate Activate Multi Processing.
4. Select an ASIO-Guard Level.
The higher the level, the higher the processing stability and audio processing performance.
However, higher levels also lead to an increased ASIO-Guard latency and memory usage.
