To learn more about setting a buffer size
and using the RAM Buffer Size dialog
box, see one of the following chapters
(depending on the audio system you’re
using):
•
•
Acadia—see The Buffer Size Dialog
(pg. 87).
DAE—see Allocating RAM to the Digital Audio RAM Buffer (pg. 99).
SAMPLE RATE/SIZE
Choose this command to open the Set
Session Sample Rate dialog box.
Higher session sample rates produce
better audio quality, but use more disk
space (because there are more sample
points per second). You can save disk
space by using a low sample rate, but this
degrades the sound quality.
To get the best audio quality, you should
record all of your sound files at the same
rate as your hardware sample rate. When
you do this, the sample rates of your files
will always match the hardware sample
rate, and sample rate conversion on playback will not be necessary.
To learn more about sample rates and the
Set Session Sample Rate dialog box, see
one of the following chapters (depending
on the digital audio management system
you’re using):
•
•
Acadia—see The Session Sample
Rate (pg. 18).
DAE—see Set a Session Sample Rate
and size (pg. 105).
Figure 32.11: Set Session Sample Rate Dialog
Box
Use the dialog box to set a session sample
rate before you record. The session
sample rate is the sample rate that Vision
uses to both record and play back audio.
NOTE: Users of Pro Tools 24 can choose
between 16 and 24 bits; however, all files
should have the same bit depth. Users of
other audio systems should always use 16
bits.

HARDWARE SETUP
Choose this command to open the Hardware Setup dialog box, which you use to
tell Vision about the audio hardware
you’re using.
The appearance and function of the dialog
box changes depending on which audio
system you use. Specifically:
