walls. Its all about mass
and space. I have 2 walls 10" apart with 2 sheets of drywall on each
outside wall for 4 sheets total. The more MASS the better for low freqs.

looks wrong please. Thanks

cify my own virtual memory settings. If you
have a separate audio drive, select it from the pop-up if you have two
audio drives, select the fastest one. Set virtual memory to 2 times the
amount of installed RAM, up to a maximum setting of 150 Mb. 128MB
recommended. Set both values to the same value.

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. 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.

* /Z:64 option: Format your AUDIO drive with "Format X: /Z:64" for 32k
clusters.

* Buffer DMA Channels: If you're using an IDE drive, Control Panel /
System / Device Manager. Expand system devices, select Direct Memory
Access Controller and click Properties. Click the Settings tab. Use the
up arrow to increase the Reserve DMA buffer try a setting of 32k or 64k.

* Disable Read Ahead Optimization: Device Manager, Performance tab /
File System. Set Read-ahead optimization slider to None.

ind > Files or folders > *.tmp will probably turn up some temp
files. Ctrl-A-Shift-Del-Enter will banish them without sending them to
the Recycle Bin.

Delete all CHK files

CHK files also tend to clutter up hard drives--these are the lost
clusters ScanDisk finds and saves unless told otherwise. Start > Find >
Files or folders > *.chk may turn up some more candidates for deletion.
Ctrl-A-Shift-Del-Enter disposes of them properly.

TIP if you open up the advanced options in scandisk you can tell the
program to "free space" and NOT to "convert to files" this means you
will never need to search for CHK files again...Or until you
format/reinstall windows again.
Delete all Temp Internet Files

Start > Run > c:\Windows and, while holding down the Control key, click
once on the folder labeled Temporary Internet Files and once on the
folder labeled Cookies. If you have settings that are saved in cookies,
such as logon IDs for password-protected web sites, don't select
Cookies. Shift-Del will throw away your Internet Explorer cache (IE uses
an inordinately high 10% of your available disk space for cache by
default) an

>Hello to everyone.
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
