of sound and light in the FX PULSE or other function, and this serves
to stage the DJ performance feel, and the enjoyment of sound
manipulation.

0 Adjusting the buffer size
In the same way as the buffer size setting in VirtualDJ LE 8, decreasing the value of the [Kernel Buffers] setting lowers the transfer delay
(latency) of the audio data, while increasing the value reduces the tendency for dropouts in the audio data (breaks in the sound).
!
If the [Buffer Size] or [Kernel Buffers] number is made large, drops
in the data (breaks in the sound), etc., occur less easily, but the time
lag due to transmission delays in the audio data (latency) increases.
0 If breaks in the sound occur with the default
setting
Launch [DDJ_WeGO4 ASIO Settings Utility] and change
[Kernel Buffers] to [4].
0 If no breaks in the sound occur with the default
setting
Launch [DDJ_WeGO4 ASIO Settings Utility], change

Changing the settings
0 Adjusting the buffer size
In the same way as the setting of [Buffer Size], decreasing the value of
the [Kernel Buffers] setting lowers the transfer delay (latency) of the
audio data, while increasing the value reduces the tendency for dropouts
(breaks in the sound) to occur in the audio data (the default setting of
[Buffer Size] is 512 samples/10 ms and the default setting of [Kernel
Buffers] is [3]).
! If the [Buffer Size] or [Kernel Buffers] number is made large, drops
in the data (breaks in the sound), etc., occur less easily, but the time
lag due to transmission delays in the audio data (latency) increases.
0 If breaks in the sound occur with the default
setting
1 Launch [DDJ_WeGO4 ASIO Settings Utility] and
change [Kernel Buffers] to [4].
2 Set to the minimum [Buffer Size], with which breaks
in the sound do not occur.
0 If no breaks in the sound occur with the default
setting
1 Launch [DDJ_WeGO4 ASIO Settings Utility] to set to
the minimum [Buffer Size], with which breaks in the
sound do not occur.
2 Change [Kernel Buffers] to [2], and check that no
breaks occur in the sound.
3 If no breaks occur in the sound, set to the minimum
[Buffer Size]. If breaks do occur in the sound, change
[Kernel Buffers] to [3].
