Driver Buffer Setting

This control manages latency. Choose from Max Latency (highest latency, least chance of audio droput), Slow (higher latency, less chance of audio

dropout), Normal (medium latency, medium change of audio dropout), and The Setup Dialog DAW (lower latency, more chance of audio dropout).

Streaming plug-in configurations

When the PCM96 Surround is used as a streaming plug-in, using FireWire I/O, the cascaded options will be unavailable. The increased channel count of the FireWire connection lets you use up to four simple mono or two sim- ple stereo virtual machines at the same time. There are no cascade configura- tions available although effects can still be cascaded in the DAW.
