When converting audio information to digital and vice versa, the audio driver needs to store

the data in buffer packages (audio buffers) which are then sent to and processed by the

CPU. The higher the buffer size, the longer it takes for a signal to finally arrive at the out-

put as audio. You might experience this as late response in between hitting a key on a con-

troller which controls music software on your computer, and hearing sound at the output.

This delay is called latency. A rule of thumb is: lower buffer size results in lower latency.

However, there are more factors to latency than buffer size alone (e.g., CPU speed and

RAM size). You should start off with a higher buffer size setting, and gradually decrease the

value until you find the perfect balance between playability and audio quality for your sys-

tem. If you experience crackling at the audio output, the buffer size is very likely to be too

low for your computer’s CPU to cope with, as lower buffer size causes higher CPU load.

▪ USB Buffer: Use this menu in case you cannot achieve satisfactory Latency settings with

the Process Buffer menu. Lower the USB buffer size for smaller USB buffer packaging,

which should further reduce the audible latency. If you notice any audio interruptions, you

should raise the buffer size until you have a clear sound, free of dropouts.

▪ Processing State : The processing state monitor provides feedback on the current status

of the device. There are three possible status messages:

◦ Idle: controller is connected, but no audio data is being streamed.

◦ Streaming: driver is working and processing audio data.

◦ Panic: driver stopped streaming. Too many USB I/O errors occurred in the interface

communication.

▪ Output Latency : displays your system’s output latency in milliseconds.

Notice there is also an input latency when working with the TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2. The out-

put latency value does not represent the overall latency, from pressing a button on the control-

ler to hearing the resulting effect at the output. The overall latency is about twice as long as

the output latency.
