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 applications other than audio, but we recommend that you avoid running other applications at the same time you are running audio programs. Processing digital audio places a considerable load on your computer.

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.
