ASIO-Guard
The ASIO-Guard allows you to pre-process all channels as well as VST plug-ins. This causes fewer dropouts and allows you to process more tracks or plug-ins.
High ASIO-Guard levels cause an increased ASIO-Guard latency. When you adjust a volume fader, for example, you hear parameter changes with a slight delay.
Note
Resampler plug-ins and certain other plug-ins with high latencies accumulate samples before processing them. This requires a higher ASIO-Guard setting.
