Adjusting the buffer size
In the same way as the buffer size setting in the Serato DJ software,
decreasing the value of the [Kernel Buffers] setting lowers the transfer
delay (latency) of the audio data, while increasing the value reduces the
tendency for dropouts in the audio data (breaks in the sound).
The setting at [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] in the Serato DJ soft-
ware’s [SETUP] menu has priority for the buffer size. (The default setting
is 512 samples/10 ms.)
