Not 6 but approx. 11. But that should be the total latency (including processing) so indeed about 5-6 ms for buffering.
Bunch of questions:
I suppose your total latency is now about 21 ms? (6 for processing, 15 for buffer). This is displayed in the sound card settings window.
At which sample rate are you running?
Can you check the CPU load?
How many cores do you have, and what happens if you increase the priority of Stereo Tool?
Are the hiccups occasional or do they happen constantly?
Hey Hans!
Hope all is well
Looking for posts on Latency and this seemed like the place for my response.
I have an Internet Radio Station and I've built a standalone Linux box for my Stereo Tool processing and will be using an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card for now and looking at Digigram cards for later.
The Linux box is a Dell Inspiron with following specs:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Memory 3062MB (781MB used)
Machine Type Desktop
Operating System Linux Mint 19.2 Tina
Stereo Tool Settings
4 processing cores optimized for throughput (shared with I/O)
Latency 4096 Samples [anything less and I hear the quality diminish]
I'm still learning and not sure how to adjust my latency. My setup is a Intel Mac Pro with Radiologik playout thru an M-Audio USB Ultra to the analog mixer for music and mics. Then into Stereo Tool box from mixer and to the input of the M-Audio USB Ultra which then routes to Nicecast to be processed for the Icecast Server for my stream. I'm still testing different presets and will buy soon. The latency out of the Stereo Tool box is as much as 9 to 12 seconds (yep, seconds and not miliseconds). The preset of choice so far is the Bojcha - Diggy Down under old FM presets because of it's incredible sound; the same one under Stream/DAB and such doesn't sound as big and clean. Once I solve this latency issue, am I able stream to my Icecast server from Stereo Tool and if so, will my metadata pass thru Stereo Tool? Hopefully I've not driven you crazy with my crazy setup.
Thank You Hans
I'm grateful for all of the hard work you and others put into Stereo Tool
