Choose among the servers on the SoundGrid network. A server that is
assigned to another host is unavailable and grayed out.
Server Network
Buffer
Range @ 44.1kHz/48 kHz:
40–224 samples
Default: 40 samples (0.8 ms)
Range @ 88.2 kHz/96 kHz:
80–448 samples
Default: 80 samples (0.8 ms)
This sets the amount of time it takes for audio to stream from the I/O or
driver to the server and back. It determines the speed of real-time
processing. Lower settings result in lower system latency and greater
responsiveness. Higher settings yield more stability but greater latency.
If you encounter pops or similar errors, increase the buffer setting. The
buffer size is set in samples but is also displayed in milliseconds.
