a friend of mine has some neat winxp tricks to get around this. he has a really tweaked out machine where he has disabled all but the absolutely necessary services to run the machine and to use the necessary audio and other hardware of course. then there is more to be done once the machine is started up. he starts 1 explorer to launch everything from. then he kills every last process that is not needed. the box doesn't have a desktop, start menu or anything. just all black with one explorer window. it runs beautifully. if any of you are interested i can send the guide that he followed to the list this evening from home. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Odeluga, Ken" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, September 1, 2006 8:46 am Subject: RE: (313) really To: 313@hyperreal.org > To qualify that though, dedicated RAM in digital synth vs. RAM used by > myriad other competing applications (meaning potentially less > availablefor sound quality) plus more than likely better DACs in > digital synths > than in a computer and even an external soundcard.
