Reaper Tips & Tricks
Optimize playback / Improve performance
- Defragment your hard drives often. This will make for smoother playback and reduced latency.
- You can greatly improve your DAW system by adding another hard drive that is used solely for audio files.
- By default, Windows 2000/XP logs the I/O traffic of your hard drive. It doesn't do anything except use up system resources. To disable it, go to the run menu and type diskperf -n and hit enter.
- Visit www.musicxp.net for a huge listing of things you can do to optimize your Windows XP install for audio. The only one not recommended is the page on "Installing XP", where they recommend installing without ACPI. While this was helpful with older operating systems, most experts agree this is not necessary with Windows XP and is no longer recommended.
