I'd like to think everyone for helping me by providing feedback on the eight songs I have submitted on this forum that will bounced to a CD Demo. I have had a great amount of help in regard to balances, gain staging, getting the mixes set with a decent amount of dynamic range, and avoiding over compressing, slamming, and "overcooking".

I've been using Windows 7 for 5 years now and have never updated a thing. The computer is never online. I haven't had a problem until a while ago when I had to restore from a backup because windows would not boot up. Ever since then things have been noticeably slower. Again, it hasn't been an issue until I got a couple of CPU heavy plugins (that I really like).

This may have been in another forum, but after looking for a while I couldn't find an answer.

I use GarageBand for my projects. I like it, it was free with my Mac, and I've had some great results. That being said it is a bit limited but some times it helps me to think outside the box.

It seems whenever I check for updates in my older version of XP that the majority of fixes hover around security improvements. My DAW sees some web cruising, in a limited way.

Do any of the Microsoft XP updates actually improve audio system performance? Are they worth pursuing?

G'day,
Me and my ANUS are hard at it tracking some alright material. She is purring along. I only have ACID just now but am awaiting Sonar 2.0 any day now. So another happy ANUS pumper here.

Now, I'm running XP pro and there are updates for it that i haven't installed yet. My ANUS is not on the internet.

Can you get these updates on CD?

A few things to review for the MixFest.

Everyone needs to pick a song to mix, sign up under that song name, and make contact with the pointman for that particular song. There can be more than 10 mixers per song. If 18 people want to mix one song, then let them.
