Problem setting buffer size to 256 or lower

Post by newtfish » Tue Nov 19, 2013 11:48 am

Hi,

Ive got a babyface RME soundcard. Whenever I set the buffer size to 256 or below, I get this strange sound from ableton. Its like for each buffer size I go down, 256, 128 etc, the playback gets 50% slower (if I play an audio clip that is). Anyone else witness this phenomenon? Just wondering if there is a way to get below 256 samples?

Cheers

Cheers Dragonbreath,

I started playing around with the khz thingy above the samples menu setting it to 192000 and then back again and now it works.

Weird!

I probably should have recorded the output while it was going haywire, because it sounded kinda cool and I doubt Ill be able to make that mistake again heheh.

Cheers
