Pro Tools Playback Engine Settings for Source-Nexus and Source-Connect Link

  • Source-Connect Pro and Pro X 3.9 User Guide
  • Source-Connect Standard 3.9 User Guide
  • Source-Nexus I/O User Guide
This article contains settings information

Below are the recommended Playback Engine settings for using Pro Tools with Source-Connect Link (VST/AAX) and Source-Nexus I/O:

  • H/W buffer size: 256 or higher (Link), 512 or higher (Source-Nexus I/O)
  • HOST/VST processors: 1 CPU usage: 85%
  • DSP voices: as low as possible
  • Host Engine ignore clicks: Off, when using Q Manager
  • Delay compensation: Off
  • Dynamic Plugin Processing is recommended to be disabled

Delay Compensation and high DSP voices will not work with Source-Connect Link plug-ins. If these are critical features to you, it is suggested that you send your audio between Source-Connect and Pro Tools via a digital or analog cable connected to the built-in computer audio or using a 3rd party hardware audio device over USB or firewire.
