The latency (the time from which the DDJ-SB is operated until sound is output) can be shortened by reducing the buffer size setting. If there are interruptions in the sound, increase the buffer size. Note, however, that this lengthens the latency. Set the buffer size to the minimum setting at which there are no interruptions in the sound.

This can be adjusted at “SETUP” in Serato DJ.For those using Windows
Like the buffer size setting at “SETUP” in Serato DJ Intro, this can also be set with the kernel buffer number in the DDJ-SB ASIO settings utility.
Use the procedure below and set the buffer size to the minimum setting at which there are no interruptions in the sound.
