Latency question

[Sami Boman]

Should I set my MIR PRO engine latency setting to the same value as my Core Audio I/O Buffer Size in logic?

Hi Sami,

Here´s a quote from the MIR PRO Manual, page 7:

"MIR Pro relies on a massive amount of convolution processes, which is why the engine has its own latency settings to optimize CPU load. As a rule of thumb, more latency means less CPU load, but there are two numbers to be taken into account here, namely the host buffer size (as reported by your audio system drivers) and latency setting. The latter should either be 0 (which is usually ideal) or a number greater the host buffer size. MIR latency below or equal to the host buffer size will yield sub-par results."

It makes sense to experiment which settings are best for different work situations (e.g., higher latency will be better to have more horse-power when mixing).

Hope that helps!

Best,

Paul

 That really helps, thank you very much. I tried to study the manuals for MIR PRO and VE PRO, but that paragraph just didn't catch my eye.
