I've read that win7 64 Window Media Center (WMC) is a resource hog. Can drain up to 50%. Also read that deactivating the sync is what to do. Do you have yours removed, disabled, what?

When you close a programs in Win 7 is it totally closed or is it still occupying the OS or cache, like Firefox or a mail app? I ask this because I notice the first time I open a program it takes a while to load but once a program is opened, even though you close it, it loads up really fast the next time like its sitting in the background or cache.

Is is possible to get a stand alone driver for the 002r? I've been searching but have't come up with anything. I just purchased one thinking I could use it with cakewalk. I can't seem to find any drivers that will load on windows 7.

One more question does anyone know if the 002 will work with pro tools 9 or 10 if I go ahead and buy a copy of that?

Does anyone know of a usb preamp that's phantom powered and most importantly works with windows 7? My old mobile pre usb has drivers for windows 7 but they're TERRIBLE. It keeps making most of my audio jacks not work. I only use it for podcasting.

I'd like to register, but I don't know the name of the cable that starts with m that the pros use...

I bought a RME Babyface. I'm running Nuendo 3.0 (not 5.0). Everything works fine unless I start using MIDI. The sound has frozen up a few times. Do you think my system would run more stable by not using the Babyface MIDI connectors, then using a different MIDI interface?

Hello everyone,

I am not sure did I post this thread at the right place, but I require some help.

I bought a MBOX mini 2, which comes with Pro Tool 7.3, 7.3.1 updater and a bunch of plugins.

With windos Xp, service pack 3, internet explorer 8, my Pro tool fails to install.

Well, I am building a new Recording Machine and was wondering the Pros and Cons of windows OS.

I am thinking of going for windows 7 home but my bassist is telling me to get windows 7 professional 64bit.

We aren't a professional studio but we do produce professional home recordings for our band and other local musicians.

Hi everyone,

I live in an apartment and need a solution to the following problems: 1. I cannot turn my amp up to the point where I feel I am getting the full tone without being too loud and 2. I want to be able to digitally record to my laptop.

Last week i switched from a 5 year old 350 atlon xp 32bit to windows 7 I-3 dual core 64bit cause my workhorse finally went black.We were recording a bass track and i heard a zzzzit and that was the end of last saturdy night.
The new computer is great, no driver issues with any of my plugs or the zed R16 driver and i did the usual tweaks.
Disabled all non relative services.
