ASIO-Guard
The ASIO-Guard allows you to pre-process all channels as well as VST plug-ins, which prevents dropouts and allows you to process more tracks or plug-ins.
High ASIO-Guard levels result in an increased ASIO-Guard latency. For example, when you adjust a volume fader, you hear parameter changes with a slight delay.
Note
Resampler plug-ins and other plug-ins with high latencies accumulate samples prior to processing them. This requires a higher ASIO-Guard setting.
