The Advanced Audio Configuration dialog allows you to view information
about and adjust settings for audio device selected in the Audio device type drop-down list on the Audio
Device tab of the Preferences dialog.
To display the dialog, select a device from the Audio device type drop-down list, click Apply,
and then click Advanced.
This list
contains all of the audio devices that are installed in your computer.
Select a device from the list to set the options below for that device.
Interpolate position
When this
check box is selected, the software will attempt to compensate for inaccurate
devices by interpolating the playback or recording position. If you notice
that your playback cursor is offset from what you are hearing, enable
this option for the playback device.
Position bias
If the position of playback or recording
does not match what you hear after you enable Interpolate position, you can attempt to compensate
using the Position bias slider.
Moving this
slider will offset the position forward or backward to compensate for
the inaccuracies of the device.
Do not pre-roll buffers before starting playback
When this check box is selected, the
software will not create buffers prior to starting playback. Some devices
do not behave properly if this check box is cleared.
If your audio
stutters when you start playback try selecting this check box.
Audio buffers
Drag the slider
to set the number of audio buffers that will be used. Adjusting this setting
can decrease gapping or help you synchronize the input and output.
Buffer size
Choose a setting from the drop-down
list to indicate the buffer size you want to use. Choose MME to
use the Playback buffering setting on the Audio
Device tab in the Preferences dialog.
For example, if you choose MME from the Buffer size drop-down, set the Audio buffers slider to 5,
and set Playback buffering to
0.35 seconds, five 0.07-second buffers are created.
If you choose
1024 from the Buffer size drop-down
and set the Audio buffers slider
to 5, five 1024-byte buffers
are created.
Priority
Choose a setting from the drop-down
list to set the priority that is assigned to your audio buffers.
Increasing
the buffers' priority can help you attain smoother playback, but it can
also adversely affect other processes.
When an ASIO driver is selected,
the Advanced Audio Configuration dialog displays information about the
settings for the selected driver. Click the Configure button to open the driver manufacturer's configuration applet and
adjust settings.
The lower portion of the dialog
lists the device name and the name for each of the selected ASIO device's
ports. You can use these controls to customize
input and output port names.
Specifies the number of extra
stereo ports the Acid Pro ReWire device will expose to ReWire mixer applications.
After changing this setting,
you'll need to close and restart Acid software and
any active ReWire mixer application. Port changes cannot be changed dynamically
when using ReWire.
Number
of extra mono ports
Specifies the number of extra
mono ports the Acid Pro ReWire device will expose to ReWire mixer applications.
After changing this setting,
you'll need to close and restart Acid software and
any active ReWire mixer application. Port changes cannot be changed dynamically
when using ReWire.
Some ReWire mixers work better
with mono inputs than stereo inputs. Check your ReWire mixer application’s
documentation for more specific requirements.
Priority
Choose a setting from the drop-down
list to set the priority that is assigned to your audio buffers.
Increasing
the buffers' priority can help you attain smoother playback, but it can
also adversely affect other processes.
