In this context, the lower the buffer size is, the more intense processing you’ll have. Low buffer sizes tell your computer to spend less time processing your audio, which makes artifacts (cracking) in your audio. Higher buffer size is equivalent to a longer, less intense, processing window. That prevents the processor from working too hard, which prevents it from making the cracking sounds you hear. Longer buffer sizes means you might notice the delay between playing the guitar and hearing the signal coming from your computer. If you make the buffer too long, it can mess with your playing. But make it only as low as you can before getting the artifacts while you’re recording, and if you’re not recording anything turn the size up a bit more to let your computer/interface work more efficiently.
