nt than Windows 3.1 was, but this
platform still has difficulty managing large numbers of fonts. Fonts
consume disk space and chew up CPU cycles whether you're using them or
not. If you have hundreds of fonts, either get a package like Adobe Type
Manager Deluxe that lets you group and categorize them for special
projects, or group and categorize them into folders yourself, dragging
their contents into your fonts folder as you need them. As long as fonts
aren't in the C:\Windows\Fonts directory, they're just occupying disk
space, and they're not consuming any CPU cycles. The only people likely
to need the Symbol font are mathematicians, college students living in
Greek houses, and students studying the Greek language. If you don't
fall into any of those three categories, you can ditch Symbol as well. :)
Defragment Your Hard Drive
After you maximize your free space, you want to defragment your drive
using Start > Programs > Accessories > Disk Defragmenter. Defragment
whether Windows says you need to or not. There are strategies for
defragmenting, third-party utilities that do a better job.
Defragment your drive after you remove any large quantity of data from
your hard drive, as well as any time you install software. You should
also make a habit of defragmenting your drive once a month. Before an
important recording session is also a good time to spend the time
defragging (and i dont mean playing a quick game of unreal
tournament)*smiles*.
The less free space you have on your hard drive, the faster your drive
will become fragmented !!! The previous few topics are beginning to seem
not so stupid after all.
Make Sure Your System Is Using 32-bit Drivers
If the system is much slower than it should be, there's a good chance
that Windows isn't using its native 32-bit drivers for disk access.
Another common symptom of this problem is a nonfunctioning CD-ROM drive.
To check for more symptoms, press Start, then proceed to Settings >
Control Panel > System > Performance. If you see a message that says
certain drives are using MS-DOS compatibility mode, you have a problem.
Switch over to Device Manager > Hard Disk Controllers. If you see yellow
exclamation points, you may have one very common (but perplexing)
Windows 9x problem. To fix it, press Start, then proceed to Run >
Regedit, then Ctrl-F-NoIDE-Enter. We'll talk about Regedit in a little
bit more depth later in this chapter. For now, if Regedit comes back
with a key labeled NoIDE highlighted in blue, right-click on it and
select Delete. Now restart immediately. You should see an immediate,
dramatic improvement in disk performance.
Lose autoexec.bat and config.sys
Rename AUTOEXEC.bat to AUTOEXEC.XYZ and rename CONFIG.bat to CONFIG.XYZ
and restart. If you don't run DOS programs, this trick is a double
blessing: you speed up your system, and you don't have to change the way
you work at all. Renaming the files like this allows you to keep the
files for reference, but keeps the system from finding them and using
the configuration data in them. Be sure to restart immediately after you
do this procedure.
Clean Out Your Startup Group
Loading programs in to RAM will force the computer to use the swap file,
see next topic below. I suggest using this utility to unload all
programs that load at startup except, External links, SYSTRAY,
taskmonitor, and scanregistry....All others can and should go. The only
other one I have in here is my firewall. Make sure that you have no more
than 5 in here and definately no MS fastfind or MSoffice entries. Virus
protection should be removed since you can run it when it is needed.
Optimize Your Swap File , also known as virtual memory.
In a perfect world your computer will never use its swap file at all. If
the computer needs the swap file constantly the computer looks to empty
the cpu's work to ram, when the ram is full it then empties some of the
ram to the hard drive then puts what the CPU was working on in ram. Then
the cpu looks for the next data that it needs that should be already in
the ram waiting. This shuffling DATA to and from the RAM and hard disk
brings a fast CPU to its knees.
Forget what other people have told you about set your swap file to
double the amount of ram you have....This wastes huge amounts of hard
disk space and when recording if you ever need that much room for a swap
file I can tell you now your computer is not going to cope with too many
tracks of audio. Setting the swap file's maximum and minimum values to
the same number is a good idea but this can cause an even worse thing to
occur than letting windows manage the swap file..Your swap file can
become fragmented.....Windows 98 is miles ahead of 95 when it comes to
managing the swap file so I recommend it is left at its default settings
unless you wish draw every once of power out of the computer or are
having problems with windows deafult setting... If you only have 1 hard
drive I would highly recommend setting the max and min to the same value
or the drive has to leave the audio files to make any changes to the
swap file (refer to this pagefor more info on this). After changing the
value of the swap file defrag your hard drive and reboot to dos. Once in
DOS delete the swap file so that when windows is restarted the swap file
is rebuilt unfragmented....This is very important. Another trick is too
get the autoexec.bat file to delete the swapfile for you everytime the
computer starts. Enough free unfragmented space is needed if this trick
is to be used. Windows 98 has a utility called SYSTEM MONITOR which can
tell you how large your swap file is. It may need to be installed off
your CDROM since it is optional when installing windows. Run your
programs and look at the size of the swap file when windows is managing
its size...This will tell you if you need more RAM and what size to set
your permanent swap file to. You will want to make sure windows doesn't
reallocate the space for a swap file whilst you are recording or a
glitch will be heard...Logic Audio calculates how much room you need for
a swap file based on the figure set in audio hardware and drivers. The
setting is called "max audio tracks" for this reason you should set this
number to as close to the maximum amount of tracks that you will need in
the song that you are working on. Logic ensures that windows will not
resize your swap file when recording unless you load another program
while running logic. Setting the maximum and minimum swap file size to
the same number and higher than what you ever need for a swap file isn't
necessary for Logic Audio but some other programs aren't as smart and it
may need to be done.
I have read heaps of tips on swap files and I shall tell you to ignore
most of it...One tip is to set a swap file on another dedicated
partition, this seems like a good idea since the swap file will never
become fragmented but Partitions other than the primary one will be
signifcantly slower depending on how far towards the centre of the drive
that partition is. You want the swap file to be in the fastest part of
the hard drive and definatly NOT on the same partition as your audio
files..Once again a dedicated hard drive for audio begins to make more
sense. Recording to the same partion as the swap file and system files
can increase the chance of data corruption.
On systems with large amounts of memory (i.e. > 256mb) the hard disk
based swap file is not needed as much, this tweak optimizes the use of
the swap file on such systems.
Using notepad open the file SYSTEM.INI in your Windows directory.
Find the [386Enh] section and add a new line reading
"ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1". Save the file and restart Windows for the
change to take effect.
VCache or Disk Cache
Cache can get quite confusing for some people since there are many
different types of cache. This section will talk just about VCACHE or
disk cache as it is also known as.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Performance > File
System > Typical Role of this Machine > Network Server. Windows will now
store the last 2,729 filenames and the last 64 directory names it's
used. Of the well-known tips, this one tends to make the most noticeable
difference. Using Network Sever will double the standard settings...For
those of you using more than 256 Mb of RAM I will write a registry patch
that will double the values for network sever. I will link it HERE. You
may use it at your own risk and on the condition you let me know if you
noticed a difference after installing it. It will add another option
under network sever called "Skinah's DAW Tweak" so you can select and
deselect it at will. When playing with this value you will need to
allocate more VCACHE to hold/store the extra files in ram or you will
not achieve a thing....This is outlined below....
VCACHE SETTINGS
Windows uses its VCACHE to mirror data on your hard drive. It takes only
a little bit longer to read 128K off the disk than it takes to read 64K,
so when Windows asks for 64K, the VCACHE will go ahead and read more
data than Windows asks for. And if Windows asks for the next piece,
VCACHE can provide that data from RAM instead of from the disk. Also, if
you ask for a piece of data once, there's a decent chance you'll ask for
it again, so VCACHE holds whatever data you've loaded last for as long
as possible.
To illustrate this principle, try restarting your computer, then loading
a large application like Microsoft Word. Count off the seconds before it
loads--an unscientific one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand will suffice
for this illustration. Now immediately close Word and load it again.
This time, it will load much more quickly, because much of Word is
loading from RAM rather than from disk.
The correct setting is totally system dependant. I will give you some
guidelines that other sites do not tell you....
Setting Vcache to a value less than 8192 can cause problems when burning
CD's....It helps to cause "buffer underruns" so set the maximum vcache
setting equal to or more than 8192. Next tip is that with increasing the
computers role from "desktop" to "network server" or "Skinah's DAW
tweak" the computer remembers more and more of the last files you used
and keeps them in RAM...If the Vcache is small then not all of the files
fit into the allocated space and the full potential of increasing the
role is never achieved. The other end of the scale is that if you set
the minimum value to a high value this keeps that amount of RAM for
vcache and won't allow programs to use that section of RAM... This is
why windows is constantly changing the values behind your back. The less
RAM u use the more it allocates to Vcache. Once again you can use SYSTEM
MONITOR to graph your disk cache settings while windows has control over
the settings to see what your system needs under normal applications.
Just remember that windows uses something like 75% of available ram for
caching so make sure you load your sequencing program and a large song
before looking at the values.... my settings are 10240 minimum and 32768
maximum since my computer always uses the 32768 value unless the system
is very low on ram where it will then decrease to the 10240 setting. I
find my computer NEVER resizes the vcache with these settings since I
have enough RAM in my computer for the applications that I run. You can
make the values anything you like although I highly recommend sticking
to values that are multiples of 1024 due to the way a computer counts
with base 2.....A bit is either a 1 or a 0, so you have two choices in
binary code (2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2=1024) 1024 is 10bits.
The VCACHE settings are found in a file called "system.ini" in your
windows directory.
v-cache settings in tweaking windows win-98 and me for audio recording.
Write Caching
By default, Windows is set to enable disk "write caching" which
basically means that rather than writing files to hard disk immediately,
Windows puts the (audio and other) data in RAM first, waiting for a
chance to write it to disk.
Unfortunately, if you're recording a lengthy bit of audio, this "chance"
may never come, and Windows will simply run out of RAM and try to dump
any audio (or other) file/s currently in RAM to your hard disk. This can
potentially cause data loss, audio glitches and other "fun" stuff.
* To disable write caching...right-click on the My Computer icon on
your desktop and scroll to Properties in the menu which appears.
* In the ensuing window/s, click on the Performance Tab and then
File System buttons, respectively.
* In the next window, click on the Troubleshooting Tab and check
the "Disable Write-Behind Caching.." checkbox.
Turn Off CD-ROM Autoplay
Under some circumstances, Windows 9x polls the CD-ROM drive every few
seconds to see if a CD has been inserted. Depending on the nature of
your system, this can make things noticeably more sluggish. Control
Panel > System > Device Manager > CD-ROM > <name of your CD-ROM drive> >
Properties > Settings. Clear the box labeled Auto Insert Notification,
then click OK. If you have more than one CD or DVD device, repeat this
process for each drive in your system.
If you are recording and your computer is close to 100% CPU power the
simple checking the cdrom drive can cause clicks and pops at regular
intervals...Also if a hard drive is sharing an IDE channel with a cdrom
and it checks for a cd in the drive then that hard drive cannot be
accessed !!! click here for more info regarding this and IDE.
Turn Off Power Management
By default, Windows will shut down your hard drive after a period of
inactivity. This feature can cause significant slowdowns, because your
drive then has to power back up the next time it's accessed. The delay
can easily be a second or more. This delay will be noticeable if your
disk cache has been working well and your system hasn't had to access
the drive for a long period of time, but a sudden change of events makes
the system look to the drive.
The wisdom of turning off hard drives in order to save power is
questionable anyway. This practice causes them to wear out much more
quickly, and the amount of money you save will be pennies per year, if
that--the amount of power a modern hard drive consumes is that
negligible. Reducing the lifespan of a useful drive that will cost $200
to replace in order to save a dime just doesn't seem like a wise move.
In laptop computers, the situation is a little bit different since your
primary concern is battery life, rather than performance or longevity.
You have little choice but to use power management on your laptop;
however, keep it turned off on your desktop computer.
In Windows 95, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power. Clear the
box that reads "Allow Windows to manage power usage on this computer."
Then click on the Disk Drives tab and clear the checkbox there as well.
In Windows 98, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power Management
> Power Schemes > Home/office desk > Turn off hard disks > Never.
Use Hotkeys Instead of Desktop Icons
Some people many see this as over the top, and yes it is unless you have
lots and lots of icons on the desktop. If you set your vcache settings
correct the icons should be in the cache. Many people keep shortcuts to
their most frequently used applications on their desktop. In the past,
I've recommended that people follow this practice. Unfortunately, having
dozens of icons on the desktop slows the system down for the same reason
that having desktop wallpaper does, only more so because the system
frequently has to load the icons from disk when redrawing the desktop.
Keep your desktop simple--if you need fast access to certain key
applications and don't want to navigate the Start menu, define hotkeys
instead. They're faster than double-clicking an icon, they're always
available without having to make the desktop visible again, and they
don't slow the system down.
To make a hotkey, right-click on the Start menu and hit Explore.
Navigate to your program's icon, then right-click on it and hit
Properties. Click the Shortcut tab, and click in the box labeled
Shortcut Key. Hit a key that makes sense--I typically use the first
letter of the application's name--then hit OK. From then on, hitting
Ctrl-Alt and that letter key will launch that application.
If you only have one hard drive then this tip is a good idea.... If you
have two drives then it doesn't hurt to have a few around to help people
find applications. I prefer a clean desktop anyway and using hotkeys is
good once you get used to the idea.....that is until you then use
another computer or format the disk LOL.
Enable Your Hard Drive's DMA Setting
THIS IS A MUST. If your disk controller is capable of direct memory
access (DMA) and has the correct driver installed, you can dramatically
reduce the amount of CPU power your drives require. DMA permits the
controller chip to write to memory directly, rather than sending it to
the CPU and making the CPU write it to memory. This feature alone
doesn't do much to improve the speed of the data transfer, but it does
permit the CPU to do other work while disk access is taking place, which
can increase overall system speed.
Many people know to download the DMA-capable drivers for their disk
controllers, but they frequently miss this step, which negates most of
the benefit of having the drivers. To enable DMA, go to Start > Control
Panel > System > Device Manager > Disk Drives > <any IDE drive present>
> Properties > Settings > Options > Enable DMA. reboot the computer and
then recheck the DMA box, it should stay ticked.
If the drive or controller isn't capable of DMA, or if the installed
driver doesn't support DMA, the Enable DMA box won't appear. In
addition, this box probably won't appear on SCSI devices, because SCSI
controllers generally use DMA by default and don't give the option to
turn it off. Some ATA100/66 controllers are handled as SCSI devices.
USB, COM and LPT ports If USB is not needed then disable it in the
bios. This can also be done to serial ports and parallel ports. If you
dont use any parallel devices but you use a legacy sound device then
disable it or you get IRQ sharing. You can also disable the legacy
emulation if you never run any dos games. Same goes for serial ports.
You only have 2 IRQ's for serial ports and if u have both enabled and an
internal modem installed then you are IRQ sharing. IRQ sharing puts
extra load on the CPU depending how many interupts that are sent down
that line. You free up IRQ's by disabling any thing thats built into the
MB in the BIOS.
Compressed Drives Dont use compressed drives for obvious reasons, more
power to the CPU. Also make sure disk compression is disabled. Check
under control panel-system-performance
Virus Protection While it is essential to have protection dont leave it
running in the background, this goes for all programs especially ICQ. If
u must have programs loaded then get more RAM 128 is the bare minimum.
256 is where its at these days especially with VST instruments or
Virtual instruments. More things that run means more latency is needed
and less tracks/effects.
- check in device manager which resources your components use, and
enable shadowing of these memory ranges in bios (advanced bios features)
Disable Window animation
windows uses little "effects" for when a window pops up and is
minimised... you can disable this in win98 START> SETTINGS> CONTROL
PANEL>DISPLAY>EFFECTS> "animate windows menus and lists"...disable this
and bingo no more pops. depending on how badly your HDD is fragmented
and if u are using 1 or two drives this will differ from system to
system. Having this enabled on some systems will cause pops and glitches
whenever you minimise and maximise or even switch between two programs.
Thanks To.....
A lot of the basic information here has been gathered from a wide
variety of sources. It has been edited by me to make it relevent to DAW
uses and also to cut to outdated information out. I have also added a
large amount of my own Tips trick and experience. I would like to thank
David L. Farquhar and others whom i will add here for some of the
information contained in this page. David L. Farquhar has written a book
on this topic which is recomended by microsoft.
Lose the Screen Savers
The need for screen savers evaporated in the early 1990s when monitor
refresh rates increased, but people continue to buy them. There is
absolutely no compelling reason to use them; from a technical
standpoint, they do far more harm than good. The real danger with
monitors is not the picture becoming permanently etched onto the screen;
it's the phosphors wearing out from being overworked. Many screen savers
have nearly as much movement as a fast-paced video game and make the
monitor and CPU work about as hard as well. If your system is doing
routine maintenance like scanning for viruses, checking hard disks for
errors and correcting them, or defragmenting hard disks--things it
should be doing automatically, and we'll cover that in Chapter 5--a
screen saver interrupting those tasks will make them take much longer.
If you're waiting for the computer to finish some time-intensive task
like a transform in Photoshop or even a lengthy download from the
Internet, the screen saver steals valuable RAM and CPU power from that
task. It also creates one more task for the computer to juggle--and one
more reason for it to crash. Some screen savers have been known to crash
systems.
Using the Blank Screen screen saver that comes with Windows is a good
idea; it doesn't use any CPU power, and it gives your monitor's
phosphors the opportunity to really rest, saving wear and tear on the
monitor and reducing its power consumption. If you want to protect your
monitor, use Blank Screen and give it a timeout period of 30 minutes.
The use of any other screen saver causes more harm than good.
Some monitors eliminate the need for any screen saver altogether. My
Iiyama Vision Master Pro monitor has a power management menu. If your
monitor has digital on-screen controls, it may also have its own power
management. If that's the case, set your monitor to put itself in
power-saving mode after 30 minutes, which allows you to dispense even
with the Blank Screen screen saver.
Lose the System Sounds and Desktop Schemes
The Microsoft Plus packs for Windows 95 and 98 contain some gimmicks
such as desktop themes than cause icons to spin as they're clicked.
Unless you have an extremely high-end computer turn that stuff off. In
many cases, it takes longer for the computer to spin the program's icon
than it does to load and launch the program.
You also want to turn off animated cursors and system sounds, as these
toys can steal large amounts of memory and CPU time. If you need system
sounds to warn you of important things like critical events, program
errors, or incoming mail, go ahead and use them, but refrain from
assigning sounds to every event. On the majority of systems, I go into
the Sounds control panel, select the schemes box, and set it to No Sounds.
Paris runs best on its own IRQ. 3 works well
In BIOS pick PNP OS "NO"
Assign the PCI slot for the paris cards to 3.
The legacy MIDI is on IRQ 5
Remove the Scherzo driver and reinstall them on reboot.
Disable USB, Serial, Com Ports not needed.
PCI Slots:
========
Check your motherboard to see which PCI slots are shared with other
devices such as AGP Video cards and RAID controllers and put the EDS
cards in the slots that are NOT shared.
For example, some BX Motherboards share slot 3 with AGP. The KT7 MB has
Slot 1’s IRQ shared with the AGP Video card and Slot 5 shared with the
Raid controller.
Insert your EDS cards in the lowest number non shared PCI slot so they
will be checked for activity before other cards on the system.
* Put system drive on one Ide channel and audio drive on the other Ide
channel.
Ain't it easy to config ????????????????????? I can't believe you read
this far! yayI've had a few issues with mine. It seems temporamental with my Seagate hdds
and I can't work out what the deal is. At random it will fail to detect either
one or both hdds. I've had the MB replaced and the problem seems less but
is still there. This may not even be a MB issue seeing as how I've replaced
it, but I'm just mentioning it so you're aware. If you power down and back
up though the HDDs detect fine and it runs perfectly.
I haven't used Paris on it a great deal yet other than to run a few tests,
but it does seem to run pretty perfectly with Paris from what I can tell.
I can jump about windows, adjust things while they're playing, open and close
projects etc all nice and smoothly without any crashes. I only spent an hour
or two playing with it, but she seems rock solid. It's certainly rock solid
in general use.
Note however that you need to use the older F6 firmware if you want proper
PCI steering control, and F6 doesn't support dual core processors. I wasn't
even able to boot properly with F7+. Don't know why. Happy on F6 though.
Cheers,
Kim.

Ever try to record your own stuff with no help? Ok, you get to keep
the guitar tuned, setup the cans mix, make sure you don't pull the wire out
of the cans walking around, do punch ins, play, oh and while
playing, decide if what you are doing will require punch-ins, stand
"right there" to keep the buzz down, press the red button, try not
to look at the transport numbers going by, catch the guitar going
out of tune, oh and play the solo of your life...
arrrggghhhHHHHHHH!
I have a good friend coming over soon to get me out of this
padded room...
And to run the gear while I turn back into a guitar player...
Dang!
DC
DCIt's a lot easier if you sit in front of paris (w/ flat panel so buzz is
minimal) with your guitar or if you build the switch pedal to turn on
and off play / record modes. I like when i turn and the headphones go
flying off. With all that stuff going on it's pretty hard to get into
the moment too !

As I had no real need for this app I really didn't pay attention to your
previous posts but with a new (second) computer coming on line shortly I
have but one question
How fast are file transfers compared to a straight LAN connection with
crossover cable or via a router ?
Thanks

You all know here my humble efforts to push Paris a little bit to the =
future...
What is though lacking is the kind of support from most of us here...
An example to what I mean is wormhole.
This kind guy -author- of wormhole has made too many efforts to make =
wormhole
work better with Paris.
But...things have stopeed somehow because noone except from me and =
Genne
Lennon I guess , has bought wormhole.
I explained to wormhole author that he will find a great willingness =
of support
in his efforts but I was wrong...
How can we all expect Paris to grow along when we do not support those =
efforts
?
Even if you would not need for now wormhole this would open doors to =
newer
appz-plugins that could make Paris a better DAW.
How can I ask this guy to try to make an app specific for Paris like =
an automated
delay compensation (if that will be possible ,who knows) or something =
other
if we here do not support these guys.
This damn wormhole is so cheap compared to what we all paid ( and some =
of
you much more) to have our Paris system .
Only if I see "named" responses that will confirm bying wormhole and =
we must
gather quite a few here then only I will get in touch again and =
somehow "demand"
Paris support with wormhole and other things.
I am considering rebuying wormhole to add me first on that list...
So please show in this forum that we wanna keep Paris alive spending =
some
extra little money ( afew Pizzas less for a coupl e of weekends) =
starting
with wormhole...
Regards,
Dimitrios
ps: If someone else too has already bought Paris ,my humble apologies =
to
him, but I will need his name to add it on the list I will send to =
wormhole

------=_NextPart_000_0147_01C5D6EC.A672BB50--Hi Dimitrios,
I'd like to experiment with wormhole. I emailed their website the other
day to see if Paris was supported but they haven't got back to me yet.
