Display ASIO Buffer size in Control Bar Module?

[Colin Nicholls]

I'm not sure which module would be appropriate, or even if it was suitable for every Audio Driver type, but I feel like so many "Sonar sounds like crap" posts might be eliminated if the buffer size were obviously visible without drilling down into the preferences dialog

I frequently forget that I've left it unusually high or low for some purpose, and wouldn't mind having it front and center somewhere (Transport module?) or even just included in the Tool Tip when hovering over the Performance module - probably be the easiest to implement as there would be no UI work needed.

The buffer size is usually set in the control panel of the audio interface. I keep mine in the taskbar. One click. 

Mine can be set to open when Windows boots. 
I prefer that option because then I’m dead sure my settings are correct before I start my day. 
So find the Interfaces Control Panel app in programs and pin it to desktop or taskbar and see if it has hat setting in it’s options.

I usually just left click on the project sample rate next to the tempo in the transport module to access it.

Good idea Colin
Seems like the development time on this would be very low (as it's just displaying a value that's already known) and therefore would have a disproportionately high benefit to cost ratio in reducing mean time to understanding of performance issues.

actually, it would be really nice to have one of the info circle icons somewhere on the main bar you could click on and see a popup of all kinds of stats including asio buffer, midi buffers, pdc latency, current cpu, storage, etc etc.
