OK. Now we're going to get into doing buffer sizes. Basically buffer sizing is good for
being able to adjust your computer to latency problems that you're having. Basically what
you do is you'll come into your preferences area under your audio. You'll come down to
a buffer size area and on computers that have Azio drivers you'll have a simple little area
that will have something along the lines of control panel or something that you'll open
up and you'll click on that. Your buffer sizing will be inside of a separate window, but for
this one, since the audio card is built in you're going to have your buffer size right
here. Basically you're able to adjust your buffer size to whatever you'd like. However
hot your computer is is how hot you can run your buffer size. As you can see, as the samples
get higher the latency gets higher also. This is milliseconds; this is what it is showing
here. So, as you can see, it just gets to the point where it can be a problem. I'll
explain latency a little bit later. Right now all you need to know is that, you know,
the lower sampling rate that you can get, and basically it's all about latency. The
sampling rate you want to be, your buffer size you want to be as high as you can get
it without having really bad latency or latency at all. So, that is your buffer size.
