Topic: Can't change buffer size in Studio One

In Studio One 6.2, I am not allowed to change the buffer size value from within the program. However, I can make this change from the RME control panel. I just want to know why I can't do this from within Studio One and add it to my article. If you could give me a few sentences about the reason, I would appreciate it.https://www.resimupload.org/r/7zlP0J

Thank You.

Without interface connected to the computer, is Studio One then able to let you change the buffer size ?

Re: Can't change buffer size in Studio One

yes, of course.
And it is probably normal for having only one place of buffer setting in the audio system of a computer.
It would be a mess if there is more than one buffer.
Try with disconnected interface.

Re: Can't change buffer size in Studio One

When ASIO started it included means for the host to control the ASIO buffer size. But in real-world usage with capable multi-channel and multi-client interfaces that turned out to be a clear no-go. The ASIO host does not know that you have other hosts running simultaneously, or WDM. Any change of ASIO buffer size would mean total havoc for all other software running. The obvious solution is to only control the buffer size from and within the hardware's control panel, centralized at the right point.

So you might find interfaces where it can be done from the host, but the way we do it (not allowing that) has become pretty much standard.
