Audio and MIDI Settings
This chapter explains how to select the audio and MIDI devices used by Lounge
Lizard EP as well as how to create and edit MIDI links and MIDI maps. When
referring to commands that are different on Windows and Mac OS systems, the
commands are listed in the following order: Windows command/Mac OS command.
6.1
Audio Settings
6.1.1
Selecting a Audio Device
To select the audio device used by Lounge Lizard EP:
• Go to the Audio menu and choose the Audio Settings options. A list of the
audio devices installed on your computer will appear in the Audio Configuration window.
• Click on the audio device you wish to use and click on the OK button.
6.1.2
Audio Control Panel
To launch the audio configuration panel, choose Audio Control Panel under the
Audio menu. This command allows you to select the bit depth sample rate (22.05,
44.1, 48, or 96 kHz) and buffer size, which affects how quickly Lounge Lizard EP
responds to the control information it receives. The smaller the buffer size, the
shorter the latency, and vice versa.
On Windows systems using ASIO drivers, this command opens the control
panel provided with the driver and the content of the dialog depends on the driver.
Some sound cards also require that you close all programs before making changes
to the buffer size or sampling rate. If you discover this is the case with your sound
card, please refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for details on configuring it
for optimum performance. Most sound card manufacturers also update their drivers
regularly. It is strongly recommended that you visit your sound card manufacturer’s
website regularly to ensure you are using the most up to date drivers and support
software.
On Mac OS systems, this command launches the Audio MIDI Setup configuration application.
