Help to configure the Audio Status

mirror of chaos's icon

Hello,

I have the following questions about the Audio Status configuration:

If my audio interface Scarlett Solo allows the configuration of 48000 Hz of sample rate and I am using samples in Max/MSP of the same sample rate, Is it reccomended?.

Can you reccomend me the I/O Vector Size and Signal Vector Size suitables for the audio interface?. I am trying with 128/64 and it runs ok.

Finally, I set the CPU % Limit to 80, Is it ok?, What happens if I set it to 1 as it comes by default?.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Gregory,

Thanks for reply.

I've checked both. Can I ask you a question about what is your CPU % Limit and why you use the percentage?.

Please, Can anyone answer?.

setting CPU limit lower than 100% makes only sense to give other applications more CPU resources.
At least that is what I understand.
128/64 are quite reasonable I/O settings, allowing relatively low latency for
realtime audio without too much strain.
If you have no problems leave it so, and turn cpu limiting off.

Many thanks Source Audio.

Hi,

I understand that not checking "Scheduler in overdrive" leads to a less tight timing of events.

But can it lead to "missed" events where, for instance, a midi event could not be sent out ?
