Disable Network Adapters
In addition to freeing up system resources, disabling network adapters can sometimes alleviate DAE Errors -6085 and -6086.

Open the Start menu. Right-click on Computer and choose Properties.
Click on Device Manager in the upper left corner.
In the Device Manager window, double-click Network adapters, then double-click the Network Adapter card you want to disable.
Under the Driver tab, choose Disable, and click OK.
Close the Computer Management window.
Install iLok / PACE drivers
Having up-to-date iLok drivers can help with any iLok/PACE related errors while launching or installing Pro Tools. It is also a good idea to update drivers if you are having any authorization problems with any iLok-authorized plug-ins.

Download the latest iLok/PACE driver for Windows 7 by clicking here.
Run the downloaded DriverSetup.exe file.
If a Securing Warning window pops up, click Run.
The file will go through a short extraction process.
When the InstallShield Wizard pops up, click Next.
Wait for the installation to complete.
Restart the computer when prompted to do so.
Create a New User Account
This can be useful if there are conflicting or corrupt user preferences that are causing Pro Tools to be problematic. In many cases, it is extremely difficult to pinpoint what exactly is causing the problem due to the number of applications installed on the system. In these cases, creating a new user account will be free of these conflicting preferences and allow Pro Tools to run without conflicts.
Open the Start menu and click on 'Control Panel'.
In Category view, click on 'Add or remove user accounts' which can be found under 'User Accounts and Family Safety'.
Click on 'Create a new account'.
Type a name for the account.
Choose Administrator for the type of account.
Click on Create Account.
To log into the new user account:
Press ctrl+alt+delete.
Choose Log off.
Choose the new account that you just created.
Launch Pro Tools from the Start menu.
Enable DEP
This troubleshoot can sometimes help resolve issues with installing and launching Pro Tools software. If you have disabled this for any reason, it is often recommended to re-enable it.

Open the Start menu and type "cmd" (without the quotations). The Result you get should be "cmd.exe".
Right-click on "cmd.exe" and choose "Run as administrator".
Click the Allow button if it asks you for permission.
Type or copy & paste this into the command prompt window: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn
Hit enter and you should see the confirmation: Operation Completed Successfully.
Restart the computer and DEP should be on for the entire system.
Other Configurations
Avoid connecting Digidesign interfaces to USB/FireWire hubs.
Avoid running any unneeded programs at the same time as Pro Tools.
Turn off any software utilities that run in the background, such as Windows Messenger, calendars, and disk maintenance programs. See Disabling System Startup Items above.
Turn off any non-essential USB devices while running Pro Tools.
If your video display card supports it, enable Bus Mastering in the manufacturer’s Control Panel.
Disable Turbo Boost and C-State Transition (BIOS)
These settings are not available on all computers, but it is very important to disable them if possible. Turbo Boost and C-State Transition affect the way the clock speed of the processor is managed. When either of these are enabled, the processor will dynamically change speeds depending on computing activity, and this throttling will generally cause errors in Pro Tools. You will need to access your computer's BIOS setup to change these settings.

Consult your computer or motherboard manufacturer to determine if either of these settings are available on your system, and learn how to disable them if so.
critical tweek for DAW systems running on windows 7
The setting in the 1st post of this thread [ and the regedit it " replaces " in the cross-referenced thread ] is solely to disable CPU Core Parking in Win 7 for quad-core DAW's. "It only applies to Windows 7 X64 and X32 and only in systems using more than 2 physicial CPU's and/or more than 2 "logical" cores - ie: Core i5, i7 DAW's. "
- Go to Regedit
- Find this key:- " 0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583 "
- Within this key, there is a value called: " ValueMax "
- This value represents the % number of cores the system will park - the default 100% ie: all Cores are potentially park-able
- Change the value from 64 to 0 so the " ValueMin " and " ValueMax " are both zero
- You will have to find the key a few times and repeat the process for each time it is found - the number of instances will depend on the number of power profiles in your system [ in my DAW it was only found twice ]
- Do a full shutdown and power-off and cold-re-start

Evo da i ja dam mali doprinos ovoj odličnoj i korisnoj temi.
Kada sam prelazio na ssd malo sam tra?io po netu korisne hintove, pa sam nabasao i na ovo:

http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/fo...mp-Utilities-*

Mislim da će biti zanimljivo ?tivo mnogima. Sretno!

[Khan]

Prebacujem vec postovane priloge od Dadsona i MHz iz druge teme. Eno ih na vrhu.

[DADDY Z]

evo naleteh i ja na nešto:

1. How do I optimize Windows 7 for audio? [top]
a) Roll back to the Win7 legacy FireWire driver:

Go to: Start >Control Panel >System and Security>System>Device Manager

Expand "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers"

Select your IEEE 1394 (FireWire) controller

Click on the icon "Update Driver Software" at the top.

Select "Browse my computer for driver software"

Select "Let me pick..."

Select "1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller (Legacy)"

Choose Next and it will install.
b) Set your computer's power for high performance:

The CPU may not be running at full speed all of the time. This can have a detrimental effect on your computer's audio performance. To set your computer's power for high performance:

Go to: Start >Control Panel >System and Security>Power Options

Create a Power Plan>High Performance

Choose "High Performance"

Click the "Change plan settings" button.

Make sure both power options are set to "Never"
c) Disable system sounds

System sounds can interrupt audio. Make sure that they are disabled by doing the following:

Go to: Start >Control Panel >Hardware and Sound>Sound

Go to the "Sounds" tab

Under "Sounds scheme" select "No sounds"

Uncheck "Play Windows Startup sound" if checked

Click "Apply" then "OK"
d) Enable DMA (Direct memory access) on each IDE channel

This allows data to be transferred directly into the memory and can improve audio performance. To ensure that DMA is enabled:

Go to: Start >Control Panel >System and Security>System>Device Manager

Expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers category then double click on each one of the IDE channels

Under the “Advanced settings” tab, make sure the “Enable DMA” box is checked in Device Properties

Please note: this only applies to some hardware and if this option is not available, you should not worry about completing this step.

e) Set processor scheduling to "Background services"

This will improve the performance of your audio drivers on your computer.

Go to: Start >Control Panel >System and Security>System

Go to "Advanced system settings" and select "Settings" under "Performance"

Choose the "Advanced" tab

Set processor scheduling as "Background Services"

Click "Apply" then "OK"
f) Disable Windows Firewall, anti-virus and spyware software

Disabling Windows Firewall, anti-virus and spyware software ensures that no interference will occur during audio recording or playback and also ensures that the maximum resources are available.

Note: To remain secure while your firewall and anti-virus software are disabled, it is strongly recommended that you temporarily disconnect from any internet connections when working with audio. Don't forget to turn it back on when you want to browse the internet.
g) Disable Visual effects

The visual features in Windows 7 can use resources that could otherwise help to improve audio performance. It's good idea to disable some of the visual features by doing the following:

Click on “Start” and in the “Search “ box type: "SystemPropertiesPerformance" and press "Enter"

On the visual effects tab select "Custom"

Un-check: "Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing" to help prevent glitches when minimizing and maximizing.

You can also experiment with disabling other visual effects in the custom list to see how they might improve audio performance.

Once finished, press "OK"

If you wish to optimize your Windows 7 graphics for the best performance click on "Adjust for best performance". While this will improve computer performance, it should be noted that Windows 7 will appear a lot less aesthetically pleasing.
h) Disable Windows services and third-party devices:

One way in which you can free up valuable resources in order to improve audio performance is to disable unnecessary Windows 7 services:

Go to: Start>Control Panel>System and Security>Administrative Tools and select “Services“

In the “Standard" tab, click at the top of the "Startup type“columnto sort by Automatic, Automatic (Delayed Start), Disabled. or Manual.

Click on the Stop button in the Menu bar to stop a service

After configuring all services that you desire to change, reboot to see the effects of your tweaking.

Note: Do not use “msconfig” to stop services. It basically is "disabling" a service. Use the above procedure and set to "manual" instead for testing purposes.
i) Disable third party devices:

Disabling unnecessary third-party devices can also free up valuable resources and clear up annoying pops and clicks. (See 3. How do I diagnose the cause of pops and clicks? below.)

Go to: Start >Control Panel >System and Security>System>Device Manager

To disable an unessential device right click on it and choose disable

Note: Do not forget to re-enable this device if it is needed at a later time

j) Install the latest BIOS and chipset driver for your motherboard

BIOS: Basic Input/Output System is an electronic set of instructions that a computer uses to successfully start operating. The BIOS is located on a chip inside of the computer and is designed in a way that protects it from disk failure.

You will need to know the manufacturer of your motherboard and what chipset it has. Look at your computer specifications manual or use “Sandra”.

Go to the chipset manufacture's website to download and install the latest chipset driver for your motherboard.
Much of your hardware is built right into the motherboard and depends on the chipset to make it work properly. Installing the proper chipset drivers will improve the performance of your IDE and/or SATA busses, improving data transfer speeds.

Chipset drivers also have a great deal of influence over your systems power saving features. Improper or out-of-date drivers can cause your system to hang on entering or exiting hibernation or sleep mode.

Hej drugari, zanima me da li optimizacijom Windowsa (bilo XP-a ili 7-mice) sam sebi pravim medveđu uslugu u smislu kori?ćenja iste te ma?ine za video produkciju?

[Khan]

A, nanjusio si... Ne, naprotiv! Optimizacija za A/V je doslovno ista, od prvog dana. Jedina razlika je sto verovatno koristis besniju video kartu ili dve. Svi problemi oko CPU, FW, USB, HD, etc. su isti i na isti nacin ugrozavaju normalan rad.
Naravno, ima par ekstremnih koraka, koji se preporucuju samo za slabe DAW masine, koje ne mogu sve da izguraju, pa se graficko okruzenje zrtvuje, do odredjene mere, to ces prepoznati i neces ni raditi.

[VladaNS]

Sa kakvim vi ma?inama radite pa vam windows procesi prave problem? Ja sa win7 64bit/3.2ghz dual core/4gb ram nemam jedan jedini glitch u radu. A radim stalno 88.2/24. Koliko me sećanje slu?i, dok sam bio na XP, jedina stvar koja je zauzimala cpu bio je indexing service...

[ZeleniZub]

Evo i programcic koji sve navedene komplikovane korake optimizacije win 7 za ssd, svodi na samo par klikova.

el ovo sigurica? probao si? ne mi se reinstalira sistem ako baš ne moram

[ZeleniZub]

Ja ga koristim vec neko vrijeme i nisam imao nikakvih problema.
Ako ti on nije siguran napravi folder na desktopu i imenuj ga ovako:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}, potvrdi enterom i usao si u skriveni mod podesavanja Windowsa 7. Tu su apsolutno sva podesavanja za Win 7 na dlanu.
Naravno da napomenem da je to samo za one koji znaju sta rade. pozz
