Performance programs background services

We were told long ago, other Daws run asio, Sonar runs them as daughter processes. So don't change it. You were sadly told wrong - ASIO is so clearly not a background task by Windows' definition of "background task". Worryingly, the internet is full of so-called experts who get treated as gurus. Nor is it a "daughter process" which is meaningless in Windows' terminology. Max Output Level: I was like just paraphrasing what was posted by a CW dude a few years ago.

And what I read that indicated Steinberg recommended changing the setting to background tasks because of how their code handled ASIO. And that Sonar did not do it that way. Not meaningless: any process that is started and stopped by another process, that is listed as part of a process tree, is what we way old dudes call a daughter process. I've got fastload so disk speed is not a problem. The machine runs great and if I'm on an older machine I will also "Optimize display for best performance".

It is certainly each user's choice as to how they approach things, but I am quite certain that Cakewalk and Microsoft, and a hugely disproportionate percentage of the users out there would also not recommend deliberately running without maintenance applied - as a blanket statement.

At the very least, running without current maintenance would almost certainly result in nobody providing any support for any issues - and I wouldn't run any business where I depend on what I use to have support available. If I found out a studio I was using ran in an unsupported fashion, I would be out of there in a heartbeat, to protect my work. Doktor Avalanche.

These settings are perfect for anybody who doesn't install any software or connect to anything. Performance and stability fixes are of course distributed by MS for purposes of their own amusement, and of course nobody needs security ;.

I think it would be quite cool to see a tweak list from the Bakers themselves! There seem to be two basic ideas about updates. One is if your DAW is working and your system is working, freeze it in its current state The disadvantage is you can't take advantage of changes and improvements that evolve over time.

The other is to keep on top of all updates for all software - DAW, system, plug-ins. The disadvantage is that something could "break" when you apply an update. Personally, I do the "all updates all the time" routine with the possible exception of upgrading operating systems. I'm still on Windows 7 and will likely skip Windows 8 altogether.

Anderton The other is to keep on top of all updates for all software - DAW, system, plug-ins They call it the "bleeding edge" for good reason This s a myth now. This was for before PC have exploded in power!!! Any new PC that has been built in the past 8 years, give or take doesn't need background services adjusted.

Little simple BG services running in your background will not effect Sonar at all. The only thing you need to do with a new PC or one that has been built recently 8 years old is to adjust your power options to always on USB and FW hubs also.

That is it!!! And stop all auto updates, and auto tasks such as system performance, and defrag, CJaysMusic This s a myth now. I would also update software, Windows etc. Yes, you can use iSunshare System Genius to enable or disable the Windows service within simple clicks.
