DAW-WINDOWS 7-optimizacija part I

[Khan]

Mislim da je na osnovu brojnih zahteva, zgodno da se optimizacija windows 7 za DAW
postavi na ovaj nacin. O mnogo cemu je vec polemisano, verovatno nema mnogo potpuno
novih stvari, ali je nekad zgodno imati sve kompilirano na jednom mestu i zbog
step-by-step edukacije za pocetnike, a i kao podsetnik za iskusnije.
Mnogi tweak-ovi koji su za XP ili ranije bili obavezni, sada su nepotrebni, ali
zato ima novih muka, naravno.
Uz poziv da se ovde postuju nova 'otkrica' vezana za fino podesavanje W 7, molim da
se obrati paznja na zastarele, neucinkovite savete kojih je net pun.
Glavnina kuvara, /Khan's cookbook/ je AVID-ova lista, ne zato sto su najbolji ili
zato sto saveti drugih proizvodjaca nevaljaju, vec zato sto su naj univerzalniji za
korisnike i USB i FW interface-a i pokazali su se u praksi kao ucinkoviti na
razlicitim masinama. Naravno, izuzetan tim inzenjera koji poznaju W7 bolje od bilo
koga iz micro$ofta.
Potrebni sastojci:
01. Ispravan hardware, po mogucstvu probran za ovakvu vrstu posla
02. Ispravno instaliran W7
03. Update-ovani driver-i.
/Sto se BIOS-a tice, generalna je preporuka:'ne pipaj, ako radi.' flash samo ako
mora, zbog krucijalnih gresaka proizvodjaca. Vecina ljudi svejedno ne zna da uradi
ispravno proceduru, pa se sokiraju kada im prvi put nestane struje...
04. Tweak!
(...samo bez religioznog fanatizma, naravno da ne morate iskljuciti net, ako vam je
to jedina masina i tome sl.)

Windows 7 Optimizations and Troubleshooting.

Pro Tools can be affected by system settings and other software and hardware drives installed on your computer. For best possible performance, it is recommended that you do the following:

Run as Administrator

Disable System Startup Items

Run as Administrator
This can help with various launch issues as well as a variety of MIDI issues (i.e., no MIDI output or HUI communication) and using the Digidesign hardware driver in third-party DAWs.
Right-click on the Pro Tools icon on your desktop.
If using a third-party DAW, click on that application's icon instead.
Choose Properties.
Click on the Compatibility tab.
Check the box that says ?Run this program as an administrator?.
Click Apply and then OK.
Disable Desktop Composition
This optimization will disable Windows Aero and force the computer to run the Windows Basic theme only while Pro Tools is running, allowing the computer to not perform complex graphic processing during Pro Tools operation. This can help resolve pops and clicks during playback and record, as well as optimize the system further for use with Pro Tools.
Right-click on the Pro Tools icon on your desktop or Start menu.
Choose Properties.
Click on the Compatibility tab.
Check the box that says "Disable desktop composition".
Click Apply and then OK.
Upon launching Pro Tools, you will get a notification at the bottom of your screen telling you that the graphic theme has changed. Click on that message and then check "Don't show this message" to prevent this message from popping up every time you launch Pro Tools.

Disable System Startup Items
In addition to freeing up system resources, this can resolve conflicts with other applications that automatically start up with your computer.

Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard (or Start menu button) and press the letter "R" to open up the Run dialog.
Type msconfig and click OK.
The System Configuration Utility opens. Under the General tab, choose Selective Startup.
Deselect Load Startup Items.
Go to the Services tab and choose the option to Hide All Microsoft Services.
Click Disable All.
Click on the column labeled Manufacturer to sort items by manufacturer.
Locate all items with Avid/Digidesign/M-Audio/PACE listed as the manufacturer.
Check them and click Apply.
Close the System Configuration Utility.
Click Restart to restart the computer.
You can revert to the original settings by running "msconfig" and choosing Normal Startup.
To add the 'Run...' dialog to your Start menu:
Right-click on your Windows taskbar and choose Properties.
Click on the Start Menu tab.
Click on Customize.
Scroll down until you find 'Run command' and select it.
Click OK.
