Question

Does the new latency management replace the original audio engine?

Answer 1

No, it’s an extension to the original audio engine but it doesn’t replace it. With Studio One 3.5 the user has control over multiple latency levels: standard-latency audio processing, independent Dropout Protection to avoid audio dropouts and low-latency monitoring for virtual instruments. With Dropout Protection set to “Minimum” and low latency monitoring for instruments unchecked, the audio engine works nearly the same as before but with added stability.
