Changing the Latency using the Mackie USB Driver Control Panel To get the highest performance out of your system, you will need to configure the driver's buffers. The ASIO Buffer Size configures the amount of memory used by the DAW to buffer the audio for processing, playback and recording. When using the ASIO Driver, make sure that the system sounds for the device is disabled via the Control Panel. In other words, the device should NOT be set as the default device or default communication device.
