Buffer Length Question

[Ruimixx]

What's good Ill Fam? Got a new HP notebook and I use an oxygen8 and I have no latency issues at all, but at times I get the old cracks and pops like crazy, and the CPU usages is at 3-4. (next to nothing) I researched this in the archives and found out that if you turn up the buffer length iin the general settings everythings good. I tried this and it did fix the problem, but here is my question: What does "turn up the buffer length" do to the quality of the sound? and will this effect the way my midi works?

Peace

It wont effect the quality but i find i get more latency with my MPD when i turn it up.

Damn... I thought so. I guess I got some work to do when I get to the casa and find the "happy medium". Argghh.... Appreciate the response.

if you use FL then check the channel setting on the vsts you're using and hit fixed buffer...

when i installed my mbox 2 drivers on my crappy laptop that only had a AMD sempron 1.8 gig/ 512 mb ram, i was having the same problems with flstudio, and it didn't matter about the asio.

i just upgraded the ram and everything was fine.

^^^ Yo Iszazial, what is your buffer set on? If I may ask my brotha

 

[Iszazial]

before i upgraded my ram i had it set at 2048, however once i upgraded i now have it set to 1024

thanks man, yeah, upgrading my ram is the tough answer I got to accept, and fork over some cash, lol.
