Situatie

Open Live’s Preferences → Audio. The settings you change below will affect the Overall Latency field.

Solutie

1. Reduce the buffer size
The smaller the buffer size, the lower the latency. There’s a trade-off though, in that lower buffer sizes require more CPU power. Therefore you may notice audio dropouts at lower buffer sizes, depending on the overall CPU load of the set.

2. Raise the sample rate
Sample rate refers to the number of samples that are carried per second. The higher the sample rate, the lower the latency. Higher samples rates however also put additional stress on the CPU.

3. Disable the Audio Input Device
If you’re not recording from an external source, then set the Audio Input Device to “No device”. This will reduce the overall latency value. Note: It’s only possible to select one device as input and output when using the ASIO Driver on Windows.

4. Use ASIO audio drivers on Windows
It’s difficult to achieve low buffer sizes when using the default MME/Direct X driver on Windows. Install and use the ASIO driver for your interface. If no native ASIO driver is available for your device use ASIO4ALL instead.

5. Use a dedicated audio interface running native drivers
Dedicated audio interfaces usually have native drivers and offer better sound quality than built-in soundcards.

6. Don’t use Bluetooth devices or cast audio
Streaming audio wirelessly using Bluetooth or WIFI adds much higher latency. We highly recommended using a cabled (USB/Firewire/Thunderbolt) interface instead of or using cabled headphones.
