Tweaking Windows 8.1 For Audio and Music Production

I thought it was a good Idea to share this video, (not from me and I'm not associated to him)
The part about bios helped me greatly.

Hi to all !

I have an idea that might be crazy. I've been considering building an 1176 clone, in part for the experience. I was leaning towards a Rev D, as consensus seems to be that it sounds the best. On the other hand, I would be building a compressor for its character. Shouldn't I be building a Rev A, since it has the most?

As the OP ask's:
what is your favourite UA product to date?

I've never used UA preamps , but always wonder how they measure up with other UA stuff?

If I was to choose my top UA pick, I suppose I would still pick an LA-2A because its my essential for tracking vocals.

I've never used a bathroom or staircase for a reverb chamber but plan on it.

Is this the basic process?
Place a mono full range speaker on a stand in a bathroom and mic the feed?
What choice of mic is best? (omni or?)

Any suggestions or tips, placement, mic, location?

So I've been searching the internet for tips on how to keep from having too much 'mud' in the final mix of a track while still not having too much treble. It seems I always fall in to either category but I can never stay in that sweet spot. When I have the solo tracks they always seem fine to me, but in the final mix the mud comes out and I'm not sure how to go about correcting it properly.

I've been a Roger Linn fan for 3 decades. I wish he would get back to something like the MPC 60, it was simple in comparison to all the added distractions MPC and those new gadgets following his legacy.

Im going to be setting up a home recording rig in a month or so but I need to know EXACTLY what i all need so i can buy it all in one trip and set it up, plug it in and go! There are a few problems. 1.) Im a professional drummer and a complete newbie at recording/mixing. 2.) Not sure what I all need. 3.) I want to keep the total cost under $1100.

I don't use Avid so I am somewhat clueless to their current integration with other systems . What is the difference between the Analog and Digital versions? No analog ins?
