Rewire Slave Buffer Size

[zlr77]

How do you lower the buffer size for a DAW that's Rewired into PT8?

My playback buffer in PT8 is set at 1024 but my buffer size in rewired FL Studio is at 8000 samples.

If the rewire client (in this case, FLStudio) is programmed correctly, the buffer size should follow the rewire host (in this case, Pro Tools).

With FLStudio you're probably having other problems as well.

In my opinion, and personal hands-on experience with FL Studio, unless you are dead-set on using FL Studio... don't.

Yup! Reason will follow both the buffer setting as well as the tempo you have set in Pro Tools!

That's the thing, adjusting the buffer size in the host DAW isn't affecting the client DAW.

The only major problem I have with FL is the ReWire issue. At first ReWire wasn't working at all. It was freezing up all the time. Now it works but there's just this latency problem.

Other than that FL Studio does its job.

No... adjusting the host DAW isn't affecting the FL Studio client.

It's working for every other Rewire client I've tried.

FL Studio is, at times, a useful program. If it worked as advertised, that is.
I've owned it for a long time (actually purchased for me by a client!), but I have ALWAYS had problems with it one way or another, going all the way back to version 4.5 up to and including the new 9.5 beta.

There are actually posts about this already on the image-line forums, but they seem to blame the host (in this case, Pro Tools) for communicating the buffer size incorrectly. They may be right; it could be a bug in Pro Tools, but then wouldn't every rewire client have the same problem?

I don't know which DAW is at fault, that's why I posted the problem in Image-line forums also.

If ReWire's working well for you with other DAW's, then I guess the fault lies with FL.

Now I just need to know how to fix it.

Unfortunately, the only fix will be an update to the program code, no matter which program is at fault.

I'm afraid so....
