However, increasing the buffer size will increase the latency between the input and output data. Increasing the buffer size can help with audio dropouts, crackling, and other performance issues. The CPU, RAM, connection type, interface in use, and simultaneous channels can all affect what buffer size is needed. If you purchased your interface from Listen, the buffer size used to calibrate the latency settings will be stated in the spreadsheet.Ĭhoosing a buffer size is dependent on many factors.
Some versions of drivers come with different default buffer sizes. On some audio interfaces, a buffer size can be defined in the devices control panel.
