I cannot wrap my head around the correlation between sdj and rane latency settings. All I want is to have sdj be (at least) as responsive as SSL. What settings should I use and where are these settings documented ?

Rane recommends setting the device panel driver to 8ms, then put the SDJ buffer slider to whatever you want (e.g. 1ms).

But me personally i split the difference since my laptop specs can handle the abuse i use the following settings to give me clean sound without compromising latency.

1.Rane device panel set to 4ms and then sdj set to 1ms. That setting i use for scratching


2.Rane device panel set to 5ms and then sdj set to 1ms. If am scratching and mixing

3.Rane device panel set to 8ms and then sdj set to 1ms. If am just mixing


But if you want the long version of the info with the math behind it. You can puzzle through this thread below for answers or a more understanding

Thank you so much!

- I'm getting doubtful sound quality at 1ms in sdj / 4ms on the system's prefs.
- 2ms in sdj sounds pretty good and at 4ms system prefs.

Will read through the other thread tho. And hope Serato make this a little more transparent in the next release.

On to the next problem (how to get fx and sp6 output through the AUX channel)
