Probleemoplossing

Oudio-vertraging:

If you experience audio delay or latency, consider the following:

  • Software Buffer Size: Adjust the buffer size in your DAW's audio settings. A smaller buffer size generally reduces latency but requires more processing power.
  • Draadlose oorfone: Using wireless earphones can introduce additional latency. For critical monitoring, a wired connection is recommended.
  • Oudiobron: Some audio sources or plugins may inherently cause delay.
  • Direct Audio Output: For optimal performance, use the 3.5mm headphone jack on the SMK37 PRO for audio output.
  • Lae battery: Low battery power can sometimes contribute to performance issues, including latency. Ensure your device is adequately charged.
