Net Number : 22 - Q4 What's buffer size and how can I adjust it?
-
A4
The buffer size setting is a detailed setting related to audio transmission.
When you hear sound cuts or delays in operation, you can solve the issue by adjusting the buffer size. The larger the value of [Sample], the less likely you’ll hear sound cuts etc. The smaller the value is, the less likely you’ll experience delays in operation.If you experience issues such as sound cuts, set the buffer size to a large value such as 1024 samples. Next, play a track and check it no longer cuts out. Then, change to a low value and use the unit. Repeat these steps until the sound cuts stop and you don't experience a delay in operation.
The process for adjusting buffer size depends on which DJ application you use.
