Input Latency / Output Latency Indicates the delay time for the audio input/output in millisecond units. Audio latency differs depending on the value of the ASIO Buffer Size. The lower the value of the ASIO Buffer Size, the lower the value of Audio Latency. Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver Installation Guide 4 Mac OS X The driver settings can usually be adjusted via the audio driver setup window in the application. This section describes how to change the driver settings, using Cubase as an example. Changing the sample rate (in Cubase) Open the "Project Setup" window (called up via [Project] [Project Setup]), then change the "Sample Rate" in the displayed window.

" Change the "Buffer Size" in the displayed window. TIP Setting the audio driver buffer size Noise produced when using audio applications such as DAW software may affect audio recording and/or playback. In most cases, you can solve these problems by adjusting the audio driver buffer size (the size of memory used to temporarily hold data to avoid intermittent playback). While the higher buffer size reduces load to the computer CPU but produces latency (time lag) during recording/playback, the smaller buffer size may result in noise or the sound cutting off. Make sure to set the buffer size to an appropriate value depending on the performance of your computer, the number of audio/MIDI tracks being recorded/played back on the DAW software, the number of plug-in software, and so on.
