Windows XP Optimization

With all the great VST and DXi plugins available these days for the electronic musician, there comes a price…a complete computer power drain. These plugins are power hungry and unless you’ve got the latest and greatest computer, you are going to need all the help you can get.

And so, I’m am always looking for ways to optimize my computer so I can use all these fun toys and here is one of the articles I have found to help reduce all the added bling your windows xp machine comes with:

    There comes a point were the amount of cpu is not enough and an audio card with built in memory must take over ie: digidesign tdm. But who in there right mind can afford one of these things so ram and cpu power is the best we can do. Keeping up with the plugins is hard cause they must be writting the code for the latest systems so as you get a new plugin you need a need a bigger processor, its a catch 22. Windows xp is definatly the most stable for audio in the world of PC’s (not including macs) at least it doesnt blue screen like 2000 at the drop of a hat. Keep up the great music and may God bless you for your work of spreading the message. Carl — Australia
