Steinberg USB Driver to the computer.)
2 Buffer Size
Lets you select the buffer size for the ASIO driver. The

What is Loopback?
Loopback is a convenient function for broadcasting over the
Internet. It mixes the input audio signals (such as
microphone and guitar) with the audio signals playing back
in the software in the computer into two channels in the
UR12, and sends them back to the computer.
Loopback Function Precautions
If the Loopback function is on while you are
monitoring input signals from the UR12 via DAW
software, it will cause loud noise. This is because an
infinite loop of the audio signal is generated between
the UR12 and the DAW software. When using the
loopback function, turn off the monitor functions on
your DAW software.
