Set the soundcard latency - Open the Control Panel (ASIO settings) and adjust the soundcard latency.

Select a sample rate - 44100 Hz is the preferred default CD audio rate, however some soundcards, such as the Creative Audigy series, are limited to 48000 Hz (minimum).

OSX, Mac users can also check out the 'Aggregate Device Editor' that allows you to set up custom inputs/outputs from multiple audio devices also. This will allow you to aggregate several audio devices into one to work with Deckadance.

Windows users will have access to the ASIO4ALL universal soundcard driver included in the Deckadance installation. Options available in this menu depend on the soundcard devices connected to your computer. This is your Soundcard or audio interface device labeled by the name of the soundcard driver.

Select a soundcard - From the Audio Interface field, select a driver (see the screenshot above).

NOTE: If you have a 'surround-sound' (5.1 or 7.1) audio interface, you can use the rear speaker outputs as a second audio out for headphones for example. This allows you to use more than one audio input/output device.

Windows: If your audio interface does not have native ASIO drivers we recommend using ASIO4ALL soundcard driver.

show this device's control panel - Opens the soundcard driver interface.

DVS - For DVS 'scratching' we suggest that you disable the master tempo engine and reduce the latency as low as possible around (88 samples for an average computer and soundcard with good ASIO drivers).

We also recommend multiples of this latency in case longer latencies are required: 256, 512, 1024, 2048.

Elastique - When Elastique master tempo engine is active, a minimum suggested latency is 128 samples.

Generally - For most DJ work there is no need to set a latency below 256 samples (~5 ms 44.1 kHz).

The ideal buffer is the smallest your computer can manage without causing glitches. As the latency is increased the delay between moving a MIDI/interface control and hearing/seeing the result is at least equal to this setting (in ms).

Latency - This is a working buffer (breathing space) used to avoid CPU overload.

44100 Hz (44.1 kHz) is most common although some interfaces use 48000 Hz (48 kHz).

Sample rate - Select the play-back frequency of your audio interface.

Are you ready to test? Make sure no one has been fiddling with the amplifier volume controls!

Test - Tests the Left and Right channels.

The Deckadance installer includes the ASIO4ALL.
