Hi @frave ,
there are no drawbacks. If it does work for you, then that is fine.
On the other hand, it should also work with ASIO Guard switched on with you, but that is a bug in the audio engine. Cubase 12 has already a fix for it and Dorico’s audio engine will inherit the fix in the next major update.
ASIO Guard is actually a technology developed for stabilizing the audio performance with smaller buffer sizes. It really turns the world around if now suddenly with bigger buffer sizes problems start to arise with you. But as I said, that is actually a bug.
In general, using bigger buffer sizes puts less stress on your system. 1024 sample is already a quite big size and so even without ASIO Guard it should not pose a problem for your system to produce smooth audio output.
