Since music is performed in real-time, music applications should never fall short of the calculations required to play and record your performance. On a Mac, you can directly adjust the Buffer Size as shown in the screenshot below:Ĭlick to expand the section below, to learn more about optimizing this setting. There you can adjust the application's Buffer Size. In this example with MASCHINE on Windows (see previous screenshot), you will find an option labeled Open Panel. The Buffer Size field defines the amount of time an audio application has to process the audio signal. Choosing a higher sample rate can further enhance the sound quality, but this also places a higher workload on the computer. A sample rate of 48000 Hz is common for use with pro audio equipment. A sample rate of 44100 Hz equals CD Quality. The higher the sample rate, the better the sound quality. The Sample Rate field defines the audio quality during recording and playback. On Windows, a KOMPLETE AUDIO device is listed as Komplete Audio ASIO Driver.
On a Mac, the choice is Komplete Audio 1, 2, or 6, depending on which device you have connected. Here is where you choose the specific audio interface you're using. If you do not have the option to choose ASIO, please follow the instructions to install your KOMPLETE AUDIO ASIO driver in this article.
On Windows, the ASIO driver is recommended. On a Mac, the only choice of Driver is CoreAudio. This regulates communication between the computer OS and the KOMPLETE AUDIO device. Note: This setup is similar when using other NI Audio Interface devices.
In this example, we configure a KOMPLETE AUDIO 6 Mk2 with the MASCHINE Preferences. Namely, the possibility to configure an Audio Driver, Device, Sample Rate, and Buffer. The Audio Preferences in your DAW will always have certain features in common.
