AuthorTopic: ASIO Latency in SA

Why can't the buffer size in eXT(SA) be set as low as in the actual ASIO driver?

Are you asking about that ComboBox near the top? That doesn't actually do anything. Use the setup button at the bottom and choose the buffer size from your card's own setup window.

The buffer setting in the top left seems to overides the setting in the actual ASIO driver. Try setting it to a really high setting then pressing apply and see. My ASIO driver is set to 128 but I'm only getting 1024 in EXT.

Randoy, whats your soundcard? did you try clicking on the ASIO button at the bottom of eXT's setup screen?

I'm using an Event EZ8 and an older 20bit Darla both with the latest drivers. In each cases the ext buffer setting overrides the one in the ASIO driver (the ASIO button at the bottom). The available buffer settings in ext are different for each card but strangely the values don't correspond to the ones in the drivers. With the EZ8 the lowest buffer setting of 336 samples is available but all the others are strange numbers not found in the driver. With Darla nothing below 1024 is available even though it goes as low as 128 in the driver.

eXT is asking the driver for buffer settings, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I get different results my self, I can get it work with some drivers, but with other I don't..

Does it work in other hosts?

cheers

All the other hosts I work with seem to use the settings in the ASIO driver only. So if I set the driver to 128 whatever host I open will use that value.


Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but while I've got you, any comment on the tap tempo thing Wink

eXT is able to override those settings, but if you click the 'ASIO' button at the bottomn in driver setup and bring up the driver config screeen, eXT is supposed to use those settings...so...

1) use eXT driver setup, or
2) use ASIO driver settings 'via' eXT

Tap tempo? I'll see what I can do.

cheers
