Definit ive Guide to Windows XP Tweaking for Audio

Microsoft Windows XP is still the number one choice of operating system for DAWs on PC.Yes, its worse than Linux (if only we had Pro Tools for Linux), but better than Vista in thepart of not being a total memory and CPU hog (you know, kinda like OS X Leopard isnow). But unlike Mac OS X, Windows is not about having big Fisher-Price icons and thehopes that things will just work, or not work at all.Windows XP is less black & white, and needs work before audio projects can call it ahome. But here are some performance tips for all the Windows XP DAW users. Use thisarticle as a reference.

1. Set Processor scheduling to Background Services.

Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance Settings >

Advanced Tab > select Background Services

This can make a significant difference on how low your samples per buffer (latency) go.It basically switches from faster and shorter CPU time slices (Applications), to lessfrequent and longer slices (Background services). This allows the audio drivers to hold theCPU for longer without interruption. The setting also reduces the amount of priority boostthat foreground window threads receive (when you click a window, that application isusually supposed to have more priority than all other programs running).________________________________________________________________________

2. Set Memory usage to System cache.

Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance Settings >Advanced Tab > select System cache

This is important for regular data streaming, such as audio data.________________________________________________________________________

3. Turn off some visual effects.

Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance, Settings > VisualEffects Tab

I like to use the custom settings to deactivate everything except:

[v ] Smooth edges of screen fonts[v ] Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop[v ] Use visual styles on windows and buttons

Everything else, I leave unchecked. Of course - if you dont mind setting adjust for bestperformance thats even better, performance wise!

The reason why I dont do it is, I believe that as artists, we all need to have some kind ofvisual stimulus while working. I dont believe in a fugly Pro Tools/Cubase/Sonar/Auditionwindow with pixelated screen fonts while working with music on Windows XP. Mac users

cant even deactivate the eye candy, and they look pretty inspired to me. So lets not loseall the dignity, PC people.

For a professional audio system, this eye candy does use additional CPU cycles - and ifyou have a very weak PC (not very common nowadays) they might make a difference

between constant audio glitches and a barely passing audio stream.

In the same way, you can choose to disable the Background image altogether (and theScreen Saver if youre getting extremely paranoid) - but then again, not having an uglyworkspace is sometimes more important than you might think.________________________________________________________________________

4. Disable Fast User Switching

Start > Settings > Control Panel > User Accounts > Change the way users log on or off >Uncheck Use Fast User Switching, click Apply Options

For a corporate or home PC, this can be a nice feature. For a DAW, not at all.________________________________________________________________________

5. Turn Off Power Schemes

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power Options > Always On > Turn off monitor andturn off hard discs to Never

Avoids several problems with power management and devices turning on and off -something that doesnt go well with audio.________________________________________________________________________

6. Turn Off Hibernation

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power Options > Hibernate > Uncheck Hibernation

Hibernation is the Windows XP process of storing the contents of RAM in a file beforegoing into standby. Besides the fact that usually DAWs dont go well with Hibernation,disabling it will immediately free up space on your disc.________________________________________________________________________

7. Disable System Sounds

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Sounds Tab > SoundScheme to None.

When asked to save current theme, just say no

System sounds could interfere with your sound card and sample frequency settings. SomeXP sounds are sampled at 20khz, and if they are triggered during track playback orrecording, Houston we have a problem. And theyre annoying anyway

________________________________________________________________________


3/18

8. Enable Do Not Map Through Soundcard

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Hardware Tab > (selectyour soundcard in the list) > Properties > Audio Devices > (select your soundcard in thelist) > Properties, and check the Do not map through this device check box.

Applications may still attempt to play audio through your non-consumer soundcard, so youshould enable this.________________________________________________________________________

9. Disable System Restore - Use regular backups instead

Start > Settings > Control Panel> System > System Restore Tab. Tick the Turn offSystem Restore on all Drives

System Restore requires monitoring of hard disc activity, which runs in the background

once in a while, creating (barely) some hard drive reading and writing activity and minimalCPU usage, when it does.

If you believe your Windows life depends on this feature, and its not creating problems foryou, its OK to leave it enabled. This tip is here is assuming that System Restore doesntwork perfectly sometimes, and that you have other ways to backup things.

If you decide to leave it on, enable it only on the system drive (where Windows is installed)and set the frequency for daily checkpoints only. To do this, go to Start > Run > typeregedit (no quotes) and hit OK.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore\

Find the DWORD called RPGlobalInterval, double click it and make sure the Decimalvalue is 86400 (number of seconds in a day). Close Regedit and reboot to make changes.

But remember, any experienced user will tell you the best way to avoid stress in times ofcrisis (computer and data crisis) is to backup often.- Windows XP has a good backup utility ( Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools>Backup ).

- In addition to that, you might want to keep backups of image files of the boot drive (XPpartition). Commercial tools like Acronis True Image are available for this, as well as a freeoption for home users, DriveImage XML.

If youre using Windows XP on Boot Camp (with an Apple/Intel computer), things are notas simple. You can try to do it with DriveImage XML, or do it from OS X with a free(donation-ware) application called Winclone.________________________________________________________________________

10. Disable Automatic Updates

Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Automatic Updatesand checking the box labeled Turn off automatic updating. I want to update my computermanually
http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htmhttp://twocanoes.com/winclone/http://twocanoes.com/winclone/http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htmhttp://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/


4/18

Why? because it saves CPU. You should be doing updates manually. Dont trust Microsofton this.________________________________________________________________________

11. Startup and Recovery Options

Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Start Up & Recovery > Settingsand uncheck Automatically Restart.

Everytime the computer crashes you will now see the old style blue screen of deathinstead of rebooting without warning. This way, you can take a look at what file is causingthe problem, and note down the error codes.________________________________________________________________________

12. Disable Error Report ing

Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Error Reporting > Check DisableError Reporting (but leave But Notify Me When Critical Errors Occur on).

Makes things more convenient and slightly less annoying when errors occur. And theymight occur - you have a DAW. Anything is possible.________________________________________________________________________

13. Disable Remote Assistance

Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Remote > Uncheck Allow Remote AssistanceInvitations to be sent from this computer

Disabling this is more important for network security than anything else.________________________________________________________________________

14. Configure the Swap File (Virtual Memory)

Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance > Settings >Advanced > Virtual memory > Change

Nowadays, the average DAW computer has at least 2 GB of RAM, so this is not as crucial

for performance as it used to. But its still something to look into.Assuming you have at least 1 GB of RAM, select Custom size, and make the Initial size noless than the amount of RAM you have installed. For the Maximum size, make it abouttwice, just to be safe, or as much as your hard drive can take (if its less than twice). Then,hit Set, and OK, and follow the instructions.

Example:For 1480 MB of RAM:Initial size (MB): 1500Maximum size (MB): 3000

Windows is also prepared to do RAID striping of 2 paging files. That is, if you have anextra hard drive besides the system drive (in a separate IDE channel), preferably with apartition that you can dedicate to the swap file you can go ahead and set a second page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_diskshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks


5/18

file in that hard drives partition, with the same exact initial and maximum sizes. Windowswill read and write the data twice as fast, because it will do it in parallel, with 2 hard driveheads in 2 platters. Specially if you have less than 2 GB of RAM and frequent access tothe virtual memory, that should speed up your system considerably.

Theoretically, it is better to set this up just after installation since the file will be near thestart of the disc, non-fragmented in one contiguous block.

You should never disable the paging file completely - this causes incompatibility problemswith sensitive applications and Windows itself.________________________________________________________________________

15. Disable Offl ine Files

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Folder Options > Offline Files > Uncheck Enable OfflineFiles

You probably wont need this functionality, and it may slow down file browsing.________________________________________________________________________

16. Disable Remote Desktop

Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Remote > Uncheck Allow users to connectremotely to this computer

Disabling this is more important for network security than anything else.________________________________________________________________________

17. Disable Internet Synchronize Time

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Date and Time > Internet Time > UncheckAutomatically synchronize with an internet time server

Disable this so the service wont be running. Once in a while, to set the clock, activate itand click Update Now. Once the time is synchronized with the server again, go back todisabling it.________________________________________________________________________

18. Disable Hide Inactive Icons

Start > Settings > Taskbar and Start Menu > Taskbar TAB > Uncheck Hide Inactive Icons

This allows you to see exactly whats running on the taskbar at all times. If you see anyunnecessary program, close it to save system resources.________________________________________________________________________

19. Disable Automatic Desktop Cleanup Wizard

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display > Desktop > Customise Desktop > Uncheck

Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard every 60 days


6/18

Again, scheduled tasks are always a no-no, and this was probably never really useful toanyone.________________________________________________________________________

20. Disable NTFS Last Access Time Logging

Start > Run > regedit

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystemAdd a new DWORD value - NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate (without quotes) and set thevalue to 1. Then reboot to make changes effective.

If youre running all your drives with NTFS file system instead of FAT32, as you should(even if you have Apple Boot Camp on a Mac), this is a somewhat important performancefix. It will supposedly make Windows disk transfers free of the responsibilities of updatinglast access time in the file system.

________________________________________________________________________

21. Disable CD-ROM Autoplay

Method 1- Start > Run > regedit- navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom- Set Autorun to 0.

Method 2- Open My Computer / Windows Explorer- Right Click on each CD-ROM and choose Properties- Click on the Auto Play tab- In the drop down box you can choose the Action for each choice shown

Method 3- Start > Run > gpedit.msc- Computer Config > Administrative Templates > System- Double click Turn off Autoplay- Enable it.

In Windows 98(SE), disabling CD-ROM autoplay had a constant impact on performance.This no longer happens in XP, but the system will still freeze for a second while a CD isinserted. This will at least make it less annoying, without possible popups/installationsstarted because of the CD.________________________________________________________________________

22. Disable Disk Indexing

Right click on each drive in My Computer > Properties > Uncheck Allow Indexing Serviceto index this disk > Apply changes to X:\, subfolders and files > OK

Click Ignore All if you get an error message saying it cant change certain files.


7/18

Also, go to Start > Run > type services.msc , hit OK > Navigate to Indexing Service in thelist > Right click on it, Properties > Startup type: Disabled > OK

To make these changes you need Administrator privileges.The Indexing Service uses a document filter to read through a document and extract text

and properties to pass to the indexer (used in Search and others). When you have severalhard drives and/or partitions, this can take a constant hit on system performance.________________________________________________________________________

23. Defragment your hard drives at least weekly

Except for the audio drive (the one with the audio multitrack sessions - for which youshould instead copy the files to another drive, erase it and copy the files back again), youshould keep your drives defragmented. You can use:

- The Windows XP defragmenter (Right click on drive > Properties > Tools > Defragment

Now)- A commercial defragmenter (Raxco PerfectDisk, Diskeeper)- A free defragmenter (J KDefrag, Piriform Defraggler)________________________________________________________________________

24. Disable useless devices in Device Manager

Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Right click onuseless devices > Disable > Yes

Some devices use up resources constantly, or even worse, interfere with data streamingwhen you most need it. Laptops are specially problematic, because Windows ACPI(Advanced Power Configuration Interface) still cant manage most laptop batteriesproperly. So to run Pro Tools I always have to disable all the batteries and adapters listedin Batteries.

Besides that, I have disabled IR receivers, wireless cards and the trackpad (since I alwaysuse mouse). Proceed with caution - only disable batteries and what you know you will notuse (or that will cause problems).________________________________________________________________________

25. Uninstall useless Programs

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs

Despite all the cleanups, standard maintenance can make a noticeable difference.Remove all the programs you havent used for several months.________________________________________________________________________

26. Perform Disk Cleanup at least weekly

Right click on the drive where you installed Windows > Properties > Disk Cleanup
http://www.raxco.com/home_office/home_perfectdisk_professional.cfmhttp://www.diskeeper.com/http://www.emro.nl/freeware/http://www.defraggler.com/http://www.defraggler.com/http://www.emro.nl/freeware/http://www.diskeeper.com/http://www.raxco.com/home_office/home_perfectdisk_professional.cfm


8/18

Check everything in the list except Compress old files and Catalog files for the ContentIndexer (Assuming you also want to delete whats in the Recycle Bin) and hit OK > Yes.________________________________________________________________________

27. Disable useless Startup items in System Configuration Utility

Start > Run > type msconfig (no quotes) > OK > Startup tab

Here you will see all (or most of) the items starting up with windows. This is where a lot ofthe little programs and extra services and malware come to feed. Disable whatever is notneeded by unchecking the items. You do need some knowledge about what you haveinstalled, but nothing is system critical here - when Windows is installed and still clean, ithas Zero items on Startup.

After unchecking all you want, hit OK, restart, and when Windows boots up, click Dontshow me changes in startup or whatevers similar. Done!

For example: Since I have Pro Tools, iTunes, Adobe Photoshop and I do use Boot CampsBluetooth drivers for my cell phone (while using Input Remapper instead of Appleskeyboard drivers), it is acceptable for me to have 4 Startup items:

[v ] Bluetooth Authentication Agent (rundll32)[v ] MMERefresh (Digidesign)[v ] iTunesHelper (Probably I should disable it, but I had weird problems before afterdisabling it)[v ]Adobe Gamma (essential for any designer using Windows)

Everything else is disabled! And I have no problems.________________________________________________________________________

28. Disable useless services

This is a more advanced tip, so do it with caution. If youre not a pretty knowledgeableuser, dont even try.

otes for a Happier Computer and User

Do not use "msconfig" to disable services, type "services.msc " in the Runbox instead! (Why?)

Before disabling any service, check out the service information about each by selecting the service namelinks provided.

If you do not wish to select/change each service by hand, I offer up Service Registry files to adjust them with

only a few clicks. Currently, "Default" and "Safe" are available. If you wish to create a custom registry file, you can use my Custom Services Registry File Tool.

Service settings are global , meaning changes apply to all users. All of these services are "Standard" with Windows XP after the installation of Service Pack 3. If you

discover something other than these listed here running, another program installed them or they wereinstalled with optional updates via Windows Update. Examples of this include .NET services and WMPservices. View a listing of the more common ones.

Still unsure? Put your setting to "Manual" or the listing under "Safe." Manual allows Windows XP to start theservice when it needs to (or when ever it feels like it), but not at boot up. Depending on your configuration, not

all services will start when required while in "Manual" mode. If you find you need a service, place it in Automatic. After adjusting your service settings, reboot your computer. If you do not have some of these services listed, do not panic! If your computer manufacture "pre-installed"

your XP, they choose not to have certain services installed for you. This is, in most cases, a fact with OEMversions of Windows XP Home.

Before E-Mailing me, see if your question has been addressed in the FAQ!

Disabling all of the "unneeded services" frees up 12-70 MB of RAM, depending on system. Viewing Instructions: If the information is hard to read, please check out your viewing options.

onfiguration Information

Automatic ~ With a service in this state, it will start at boot time. Some services, when no longer required,will also automatically stop when not needed. However, this is very rare. If you find you do not need aservice, place it into Manual or Disabled.

Manual ~ Manual mode allows Windows to start a service when needed. However, very few services will startup when required in Manual mode. If you find you need a service, place it into Automatic.

Disabled ~ This setting will stop a service from starting, even if needed. Errors in the Event Viewer will showup complaining of that fact. Some services, while Disabled, will constantly complain. However, this situationis taken care of if placed in Manual. The service descriptions identifies those that should be in Manual vs. Disabled.

"Started" ~ A service that either set to Manual or Automatic that is running by default at or shortly afterboot time.

"Not Started" ~ A service set into Automatic that is not running by default at or shortly after boot time.
