to "Always On" and set "System Standby", "Turn off hard disks" and "Turn
off monitor" to "Never".
Set graphic acceleration to full - You can do this by going to your
desktop, right clicking and clicking on "Properties" then on "Settings",
"Advanced" and the "Performance" tab. Make sure the Hardware
Acceleration slider is set to "full" to reduce the load on your CPU.
Disable background applications - Background applications start up when
your computer starts up and can use up unneccicary resources. To prevent
these from starting up go to Start » Run and type "msconfig" in the run
box. Click on the "startup tab" and disable (uncheck) programs such as
"taskmon", "load power profile", "real player", "office startup",
"winamp agent" and so on. Keep programs like "scan registry", "system
tray" and programs relating to interfacing with your audio card (such as
console software to control its features).
Disable USB - If you do not have any devices actively using USB in your
system (this includes dongles for your software), disable USB as it is
known to sometimes

cause problems in certain DAW configurations. Not
only will this help to increase system performance, but it will also
free up an IRQ. Right click on your "My Computer" icon on your desktop
and select "Properties". Click on the "Device Manager" tab and scroll
down until you see the USB section. Click on the "Properties" for the
USB device and check off "Disable in this Hardware Profile". You will
have to reboot for these settings to take effect.
Graphical window settings - Go to Start » Settings » Folder options and
click on the "View" tab. Under "Visual settings" check off "Show window
contents while dragging. This is more of a usability tweak, as it will
allow you to see the contents of windows on the screen as you drag them
around (instead of them going blank).
Disable NTFS Last Access Time Logging (NTFS Only), Start > Run >
regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CURRENTCONTROLSET > CONTROL >
FILESYSTEM Add a new DWORD value - "NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate"
(without quotes) and set the value to 1. Then reboot to make changes
effectiveOnce again, I just posted information about what is going on with the new
Macs. I wasn't looking for an argument on what is faster, better, who is
lying. So here we go again, somebody mentions something about Apple, and
it's bash time! Well I'm glad at least some people can see through this
and clearly see the axe you grind. It's Ok if you don't like Apple computer,
Steve Jobs, Mac OSX, Apple hardware, Apple software, or the G5 processor.
What's not Ok is anytime any of these things or people are mentioned on
this NG it turns in to a mud slinging fest. That sucks! This is getting
old! But I'll Play!
As for Apples announcements, it doesn't prove a thing accept that , newer
designs

Ah yes, those average nineteenth century homes, where the music rang to the
rafters as the four generations ranged 'round the dinner table. After a day
avoiding cholera and working in the fish gutting shacks of the Lower East
Side who WASN'T inspired to song?

There are more musicians, for sure, but has the teaching changed all that
much? I mean, when my golf pro works with my swing we have fast motion video
and a host of other technology tools that have changed the way people learn
to swing a golf club. Sam Snead and Ben Hogan had no such tools. But is learning
to play classical fiddle reall all THAT different than it was in 1900?

Has he considered a used keyboard such as an Alesis QuadraSynth?
Probably can pick one up for a few hundred. You can use their PCMCIA cards
to add various sounds. Mine sounds pretty decent, although I'm certainly
not a keyboard player.
Have a greay day!

settle for decent. The kind of work we do is varied and extensive, from
artist projects to mixing, to ad spots and full film composing, (my end of
the business) in addition to video production/editing, print graphics and
web design. My example wasn't contrasting a pro studio vs. mine - mine *is*
a pro studio. The other facility has a corner of the market and long
standing "pro" reputation from being here for 30 years. We are new, that's
all.
I have over 20 years doing this, so my point in the debate was only that a
$1,000,000 facility or the most popular DAW on the market doesn't guarantee
good work. I know where my gear has limits - I can easily hear flaws in
every piece of gear I have, but without a $1,000,000 budget to buy the
absolute best of everything, I can't change that, and even then it would
still be below my reference standards. For all but the most discerning
clients, Nuendo and other DAWs are still head and shoulders above the
average pro market just 5 years ago.
These discussions are all fine, but in the end only the product we deliver
makes any difference. We deliver a very high quality product.
Yes, the Emu does have good converters for the money - better than Paris'
were. I've installed a couple for churches' miscellaneous AV computers.
I've also suggested to Emu they should make a 8-channel ADDA for the sub
$800 market. It's a missing price point for decent converters for project
studios.
