Settings on your computer
Here are a few basic points to help you set up your computer for best performance with audio applications.
•Do not run other applications. You will probably use your computer for applica- tions other than audio, but we recom- mend that you avoid running other appli- cations at the same time you are running audio programs. Processing digital audio places a considerable load on your com- puter.
This means that if you are running other applications (especially graphics or
Internet tools) at the same time as your audio application, the processing may not happen fast enough.
•Certain devices such as network cards or WinModems can cause conflicts with USB processing. If you experience such a conflict, you can use the Device Manager to temporarily disable the offending device.
•If your computer has an IDE hard disk, enabling Direct Memory Addressing (DMA) will improve performance. In Windows XP, this is enabled by default.
