Settings to modify if the audio is skipping

The default settings should be good for most cases but in case the audio seems to skip or you notice a significant delay, you can try changing the following values in the config file (~/.klystrack on Linux, the file is located in your user folder on Windows).

Note: You need to run klystrack once to create the config file.

Mix rate

mix_rate sets the mixing rate, i.e. how many samples there are in a second. The bigger the value, the better quality the sound has. The default is 44100 (44.1 KHz). Note that changing mix_rate most likely has an effect on the filter output.

Buffer length

If the sound is skipping, you can try raising the mix_buffer parameter which sets the length of the chunk audio is processed. A bigger buffer results in less overhead. A big buffer also creates an audible delay. The default is 2048 which results in 2048 / 44100 = .046 seconds (46 ms) of delay.
