Well........after a couple of weeks of ordering VSTis' registering them and
burning in my new DAW, I'm getting ready to go in and optimize the OS and
turn off all nonessential services.
One wierdness about all of this is that windows will only *see* 3.14+-G of
RAM, even though I have 4G installed.
Jorsi posted up a tweak to allow more RAM to be accessed. I'm thinking that
this tweak will need to be done for the .exe files of Cubase SX as well as
all other .exe files (my VSTi's in particular) if I want them to be able to
access as much available RAM as possible.
Also, in the instructions I was provided, there are a bunch of quotation
marks in the command lines, as follows:
1. Download masm32 (http://www.masm32.com/) and install it (after it
installs, it brings up a command prompt window, just close it. Do NOT have
it perform any of those functions.)
2. Copy the Nuendo3.exe to another location for backup purposes
3. Place another copy of Nuendo3.exe (or whichever sequencer you use) in the
C:\masm32\bin directory
4. Open up your command prompt and type "cd c:\masm32\bin"
5. Type "editbin /largeaddressaware Nuendo3.exe"
6. Move the copy of the Nuendo3.exe file you just modified back to the
regular Nuendo directory
7. Open your boot.ini file (located in C: - you may have to open any folder
and go Tools->Folder Options->View->Select Show Hidden Files and Folders and
UNcheck the "Hide protected operating system files" to see this file)
8. Add "/3GB" after "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS..." so it
should look like similar to
"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /3GB /fastdetect...."
9. If you have a UAD-1 card, you also need to add "/Userva=2900" after the
/3GB switch, so it should look like similar to
"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /3GB /Userva=2900 /fastdetect...."
10. Save the modified boot.ini file
11. Reboot
I'm assuming that the quotation marks are part of the command line at this
point and not just an emphasis as to exactly what to type (sans the
quotation marks)
Prepare yourselves for occasional whining, grnashing of garments, rending of
teeth.......etc.
