 	* **Enable "Enable Buffering"** - Absolutely required by Rock Band 3. It should be enabled by default but if it's disabled, re-enable it. You should set your global settings to default while you're at it because you should've done that to begin with.

 	* **Adjust "Audio Buffer Duration"** depending on system.
 		* Lower values give you less audio latency but use more CPU.
 		* Higher values give you more audio latency but use less CPU.
 		* Vocalists are affected the most by this, as a higher latency creates a distracting echo. Instrument players can use calibration to compensate regardless of audio buffer setting.
 		* You can change this while the game is running, but it will require re-calibrating in Rock Band 3's system settings.
 	* **Change "Audio Out" to "XAudio2"** - This is only recommended for users on extremely low end machines as it causes weird audio problems overtime. Experiment with this setting to make sure it actually helps on your end. **Most users should stay on Cubeb!**

 * ![A green square with a dashed outline.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carlmylo/rb3-pc/TheGreatSplit/assets/images/cust/smallgreen.png "Green Square") **REQUIRED**: 
 	* **Change "Driver Wake-up Delay" to "20µ"** to avoid crashing after a few songs. Increase it to "40µ" if the issue persists.
+
 * ![A blue square with a dotted outline.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carlmylo/rb3-pc/TheGreatSplit/assets/images/cust/smallblue.png "Tan Square") **Depending on your computer**: 
 	* **Adjust VBlank Frequency** if you want a higher internal framerate. This can make it easier to hit notes but may cause graphical instability and connection issues while online. **It's best left alone** and not recommended to go above 75 Hz if adjusting it for online play. Increasing it exponentially uses more CPU and GPU.
 		* Once again, having a higher VBlank can cause issues with vocal detection.
 	* **Change "Maximum Number of SPURS Threads"** - May improve performance on systems with less cores and threads [[like 4th gen Intel i5 CPUs with 4 cores and 4 threads]](https://github.com/carlmylo/rb3-pc/issues/12#issue-1955946005).

 * ![A tan square with a solid outline.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carlmylo/rb3-pc/TheGreatSplit/assets/images/cust/smalltan.png "Tan Square") **Strongly Suggested**: 
 	* **Enable "Debug Console Mode"** - With Rock Band 3 Deluxe installed, and "Large Heap" enabled in its settings, along with this option enabled, you can take advantage of higher memory access, leading to longer sessions with longer songs and increased stability. If your computer is within the minimum (or higher) requirements, there's no reason you shouldn't enable this.
 	* **Change "Exclusive Fullscreen Mode" to "Prefer borderless fullscreen"** to prevent potential crashes and audio desync when changing from Rock Band 3 to another program while in fullscreen.
