Default Re: XP Advice on separate profiles to improve PT performance...

Hi my friend,

The current session on the PC here has grown to 2,08 GB size, being set to 128 samples buffer, contens 29 tracks audio, 48 midi, 9 aux, one master and 6 to 7 of the heaviest plugs ( reverbs, comps, amp modulator.)
Kontakt is also launched to deliver 13 instruments each containing samples of 3 to 6 mb. It records without probs I also can leave it open in the background when opening other apps or entering the internet.

This is probably outstandingly good performance with only an XP 1800 CPU even more as PT is set to S/PDIF.

As there is only done minor tweaking ( like disabled system sounds etc.) it could be that one doesn´t really need to disable any cards.

I have the impression that the way the OS disk is defragged could be an efficient question instead. Since I tried out defragging by a thorough method where files are gathered by their names I have the impression like that would do very good to the system.

The program I used for it is named "O&O Defrag Professional Edition", maybe you would like to try that one out.

After having defragged with it first time ( takes longer than with WinXP defrag, cause more detailed ) PT first runs just normal or maybe even a bit worse for the first hours ( I assumed maybe because certain files need to get placed on another spot first while system conducts ), but afterwards it seems all to get stable like hell.

Greets,

Lalaman
