ASIO-Guard Latency
Shows the ASIO-Guard latency.
HW Sample Rate
Shows the sample rate of your audio hardware.
HW Pull Up/Down
Shows the pull up/down status of the audio hardware.
Set to Defaults
Allows you to restore the default settings.
Processing Precision
Allows you to set the audio processing precision to 32 bit oat or 64 bit oat.
Depending on this setting, all channels are processed and mixed in 32-bit oating-
point or 64-bit oating-point format.
NOTE
A processing precision of 64 bit oat can increase CPU load and memory
consumption.
To show all plug-ins that support 64-bit oat processing, open the VST Plug-in
Manager and activate Show Plug-ins That Support 64-Bit Float Processing in the
Display Options pop-up menu.
NOTE
VST 2 plug-ins and instruments are always processed with 32-bit precision.
Activate Multi Processing
Allows you to distribute the processing load evenly to all available CPUs. This way,
Cubase can make full use of the combined power of multiple processors.
Activate ASIO-Guard
Activates the ASIO-Guard. This is only available if Activate Multi Processing is
activated.
ASIO-Guard Level
Allows you to set the 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.
Audio Priority (Windows only)
This setting should be set to Normal if you work with audio and MIDI. If you do not
use MIDI at all, you can set this to Boost.
Activate Steinberg Audio Power Scheme
If this option is activated, all power safe modes that have an impact on real time
processing are deactivated. Note that this is only effective for very low latencies, and
that it increases the power consumption.
Disk Preload
Allows you to specify how many seconds of audio are preloaded into RAM prior to
starting playback. This allows for smooth playback.
Adjust for Record Latency
If this is activated, the plug-in latencies are taken into account during recording.
