In this case, Studio One manages all processor scheduling.My Audiobox 1818VSL is connected to my Windows 10 PC via the USB interface and has been working fine for years. If any playback issues are encountered with third-party virtual instrument or effect plug-ins that have their own multiprocessor support implementation (e.g., NI Kontakt, FL Studio), it is recommended that this support be disabled in the plug-ins. For instance, it is common to lower the Device and/or Internal Block Size while recording to keep monitoring latency low but then to increase Block Size while mixing to provide as much CPU headroom as possible for effects processing. When these meters approach or reach the top of their range, you may need to consider altering your audio device settings (or changing the Song or Project) to avoid audible clicks and pops or possible instability. This monitor displays the current relative overall CPU and disk performance, as well as the performance of instruments and automation. Open the Performance Monitor by selecting it from the View menu, or by clicking on the button in the Transport. When setting up your audio device (specifically when determining appropriate Internal or Device Block Size, or selecting Single or Double Process Precision), you should take into account the related performance demands on your computer. Refer to the Windows Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Sound to configure the options for your WASAPI device. In Exclusive mode, lower latency can be achieved, but other applications (such as Windows Media Player) cannot use the audio device at the same time. When using a WASAPI audio device in Windows, note that WASAPI offers Exclusive and Shared modes of operation. Studio One supports most audio devices, including ASIO, Core Audio (Mac OS X), and WASAPI (Windows) devices.
The Internal Block Size is the software buffer size, which has a direct impact on your computer system and on Studio One’s performance. ◦ Windows:Internal Block Size can be locked to the Device Block Size by checking the Lock box (checked by default).
For more on this refer to the Maximizing Computer Processing Power section of the manual.
The appropriate setting depends upon your specific use of Studio One. You can increase or decrease the Device Block Size by sliding the horizontal fader left or right.
◦ Mac OS X: Device Block Size is the audio device’s buffer size, which has a direct impact on your audio device’s performance. Higher settings bring more latency, but give you additional processing power, for effects and instrument plug-ins. Lower settings minimize latency, which is useful when tracking. Set Device Block Size (and on Windows, Internal Device Block Size as well) to fit your needs.If your device does not offer these options, the Control Panel button is greyed out. If your connected device has those controls, you can click on the button next to the device selection drop-down menu and make your changes within the device’s control panel.
Some devices offer a selection of configuration options.Select your chosen device from the Audio Device drop-down menu under the Studio One/Options/Audio Setup (Mac OS X:.Select your chosen device from the Audio Device drop-down menu under the (Mac OS X: Then follow these steps to configure your audio device for use in Studio One:
