Article #1713137 Updated on Feb 25, at 8:50 PM

Tired of clicks and pops?  Annoyed with error messages?  Chances are you are running a Windows PC.  No matter if you just bought the hottest, fastest Dell recommended by NASA, or if the dusty old PC has seen more birthdays than your children, Windows isn#8217 t automatically ready to tackle your studio tasks out of the box.  This guide should help clear up some of those pesky performance blunders that as a studio artist, you don#8217 t have time to worry about.  After all, its all about the music!

The first thing to do is more of an aesthetic fix and will only make it easier for us to get through the optimization guide.  First click on the Windows Start button, then click Control Panel.  On the top right corner of control panel, switch the #8216 view by#8217 type to #8216 small icons#8217 .  This gives us a lot more options without having to click through so many menus.

Already you can see the difference it made and should make navigating options in Windows 7 a whole lot easier, especially if you are coming from Windows XP.

4. Go to the Power Management tab and un-check the the box to #8216 allow the computer to turn off#8230 #8217

5. Repeat this for each of the USB Root Hub#8217 s that show up in device manager

Enabling Write Cache and Advanced Performance for hard drives

2. For all of your hard drives, right click on the drive name and select Properties

3. Go to the Policies tab and check the boxes to “Enable write caching” and “Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing”

4. Choose “Disable All” on the bottom right corner.  **NOTE: Pro Tools users must check the boxes for “Digidesign MME Refresh Service” (Avid/Digidesign interfaces only), “digiSPTIService” and “PACE License Services”

5. Click OK and reboot the computer.

Change Processor Scheduling

2.  Click on #8216 Advanced System Settings#8217

Имеется 3 protools HD с доп картами и I/O - тами. Не занимаюсь записью и сведением, занимаюсь только аранжировкой.

Сначала хотел купить карту RME. Но подумал если есть Protools система, может использовать его как звуковую карту для PC и Cubase (не хочу переходить на мак).

Для чего нужно карта?

Пишут в интернете, protools HD лучше всего работает на МАК. Но на PC тоже работает но из-за многообразие PC, не охотно поддерживается . Но информация старая. Как я понимаю существует PCI e вариант hd core - а, в принцип то мне кажется для установки на PC не могут быть проблем. Еще для работы с другими хостами типа Кубэйс используется ASIO драйвер.

Собственно вопрос:

Кто нибудь реально работает Protools hd core + PC + Cubase? Какие проблемы могут меня ожидать? Вообще есть ли смысл заниматься этим, или лучше купить другую карту?
