[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 19534, member: 46"] Re: Windoze tweeks for firewire audio recording Hey Tim, As a (former) SC48 owner, I found it to be pretty straightforward, and I don't think you need to worry too much. Initially I had a firewire device that didn't play well with the version of PT that shipped with the console. An update solved this. I would recommend making sure you have the latest updates for PT installed. You might also consider doing the upgrade to PT 9. It's cheap to do so (only $250!) from LE and makes recording much more convenient and just way better all around. 9 kicks LE's butt big time. This would be my preference, it's a VERY worthwhile upgrade. Regarding tracks and external drives etc.... An external drive for a laptop or dedicated PC drive is not a bad idea, but you could easily do the 18 simultaneous tracks to any reasonably modern laptop's internal HD without issue. In terms of optimizing the OS, I used to turn off wireless in the laptop I was using, as it shared an IRQ and seemed to cause occasional hiccups. This was on a Macbook (boot camped) btw, and it is likely a vendor specific issue. If you want to take it farther you can certainly disable plenty of startup processes and services. An easy way to do this is to run "msconfig" Hope that helps a bit. Make sure to do a test run before the event with a good length chunk of recording time. [/QUOTE]
