Sample Rate (Windows); Latency And Sample Rate (In Software) - M-Audio Vocal Studio Guia Del Usuario

Latency (Windows)
This tab lets you set the buffer size, which controls
the amount of latency you experience while
recording.
Latency is the time it takes for the sound picked up
by the microphone to pass through your recording
software. This latency can result in a delay when
overdubbing to existing tracks, which can affect the
timing of your recording—not to mention that it can
be distracting and annoying, too.
The Latency slider lets you adjust the buffer size in
units of samples. The default buffer size is 256
samples. Smaller buffer sizes result in lower latency (less audible delay). Setting the buffer size too
small may cause clicks, pops and audio dropouts on slower systems. If you are experiencing clicks
and pops in your recording, try increasing the buffer size.
Note: Mac OS X users (as well as Windows users) can adjust the buffer size in the software. See the
Latency and Sample Rate (in software) section below for more information.

Sample Rate (Windows)

This tab lets you set the sample rate of the Producer
USB microphone.
The 44.1 setting (in thousands of samples per
second, also known as kilohertz or kHz), is the same
sample rate used by CDs. The 48 kHz setting is
commonly used for professional applications. These
two rates are sonically almost indistinguishable from
each other.
Note: Mac OS X users (as well as Windows users)
can adjust the sample rate in the software. See the
Latency and Sample Rate (in software) section
below for more information.

Latency and Sample Rate (in software)

Recording software often lets you adjust the latency and buffer size in the software's Preferences,
Settings, or Options.
To do this in Ignite, open the Audio Setup window (by clicking on the wrench icon on the Home
screen), and then click the Sample Rate or Buffer Size drop-down menu in the lower right corner.
