Alesis 16 User Manual

 

 

In Windows, open the Alesis USB2.0 control panel from either the 

All Programs menu or within your audio application.   

 

On the Mac, access this panel from the “configure device” button 

of  Audio/MIDI Setup. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here, you can see your current sample rate, driver and firmware 

versions, and you can change your audio latency. 

 

Higher latency settings generally allow for more stable audio 

performance and generally allow you to run more simultaneous 

audio tracks and plugins.  The downside is that higher latency 

introduces noticeable lag between the time that you perform an 

action and the time you listen back to it.   

 

For this reason, many people use lower latency settings when 

recording tracks and then switch to higher ones when mixing.
