CHANGING LATENCY
Audio Latency describes the time that it takes for
your soundcard to respond to a command. In
other words, this is the time that it takes for your
computer to process data and output sound.
The lower your latency is, the faster your
computer will respond to commands and output
sound.
For example, with high latency settings you may
start to notice a significant lag when you change
EQ, level and effect settings. In this case, you
will want to decrease your soundcard's latency in
order to achieve a quicker response.
To change latency settings for the DJ IO, please
open the Numark USB Control Panel by clicking
on Start | All Programs | NUMARK | Numark
USB Control Panel.
You will see a drop-down menu on the lower
portion of the Numark USB Control Panel. Click
on the drop-down arrow to view the available latency settings and select the desired setting.
The 'relaxed' setting will result in a high audio latency and more lag, while the 'highspeed' will
give you the lowest audio latency and quickest response.
Please note: Depending on your computer, some latency settings may not work
correctly.
'highspeed' audio latency settings, you may experience audio drop-outs and
glitches. If you experience drop-outs or glitches, you will need to increase the
audio latency in the Numark USB Control Panel by choosing one of the slower
settings, such as 'relaxed normal' or 'relaxed'.
If you are running on a slower machine and try to use 'rapid' or
