    He already has his own profile. And I have all of this other crap bugging my system. Lots of strange dll's, potentially spyware from his games and whatever else that I don't want running in the background!

    PCs and Operating Systems

    I think we proved that the problem is sharing the PC with my son, his games and all that stuff. Intent is to install Partition Magic and run completely separate OS. Sound fair?

    PCs and Operating Systems

    Back to the point Thanks for the assistance and the links. I have downloaded the PDF and will be closely going through the suggestions tonight. Do all sound recording programs have DMA? Are some with significantly less overhead than others? Should I try to split the recording function from...

    PCs and Operating Systems

    Hi, I have had some success with my old PII 350 with a Hoontech sound card. I have upgraded and now running a PIV 1.4G with plenty of RAM, HDD etc. In the old days (the PII 350) I used to shut off all non vital applications and operations including Virus guard etc. Otherwise the recording...

    Guitar / Mixer Matching and Aliasing Filter

    Thanks for the information on the filter. I wasn't aware that there was an internal anti-aliasing filter in my sound card, having found no mention of it in the Hoontech data sheet? Aliasing is a "spectral wrap-around", where signals faster than the sampling frequency get translated spectrally...

    Guitar / Mixer Matching and Aliasing Filter

    G'day, I am trying to use my Guitar pick-up and pre-amp (150ohm) into my Mixer as line in (little Behringer). It isn't ideal! Should I consider to purchase a DI box to get this right? Or should I instead try to build something that does the job? Also considering to implement a BP filter for...
