    adding a hard drive

    Not really. When you use fdisk or Windows to format a drive it asks you, if you want to set the size of a partition yourself, or you want to allocate all available space. Maximum partition size depends on several factors, like BIOS version, drive characteristics and file system that you use...

    adding a hard drive

    In my opinion VSpaceBoy made some quite questionable statements in this thread. 1. People make partitions only for keeping it neat? Wrong. When you use special software to create a partition larger than Windows can see by default, you are putting a small service file on the boot sector of the...

    Using VST plugins without a sequencer

    Besides, some VSTIs are designed to work both ways - as a plug-in and as a stand-alone program, like Native Instruments stuff.

    Best Pair Of Headphones Under $100?

    Are we talking about the same model? Flat or not, but my 7506 are nowhere near bassy. In fact I find them too bass shy for casual listening. Nevertheless they enable me to pick little nuances in each part of audio spectrum, which is what studio monitors are supposed to do.

    Good CD-RW recommendation?

    "Audio Master" is just a brand name of the process. I think it is very possible that Plextor does essentially the same thing with minor technical differences to avoid patent infringement, and calls it differently. "Audio Master" involves hardware and software processes. For example Nero...

    Good CD-RW recommendation?

    Two Yamahas here, one - like yours and 3200E. The 3200 is quiter than 2200, and it has 4x Audio Master mode. None of the drives ever failed on me. As it has been already mentioned here, unlike most todays cheap drives they have all speeds starting from 1x. I have yet to came across media...

    Best Pair Of Headphones Under $100?

    Sony 7506. Light and comfortable. Their overall sound tone is a little bit on the bright side, and you may not find them very pleasant to listen to. They serve a different purpose - studio monitoring. You will hear what is going on in your mix very clearly. In fact you may be surprised, how...

    Intel or AMD?

    This is a matter of personal religion, and therefore there is no answer. Both work just fine. BTW, most glitches people are complaining about are caused by other parts, rather then CPU itself: mobo (chipset, BIOS), power, cooling, drivers etc. etc.

    ***** noisy graphics PLEASE HELP *****

    BluesMeister is right. PCI video cards may pollute the PCI bus - hence noises, clicks and pops. Get yourself an AGP videocard, and make sure nothing is installed in PCI slot No. 1, which is right next to AGP slot . These two slots may share the same IRQ, which is undesirable.

    Cooling dual athlons quietly

    Panaflo fans are quite and inexpensive. Since they are on a slower side and don't move a lot of air, they should be used with effective heatsinks.

    Question for Delta 1010 users:

    My whole rig, including Delta/computer, is powered through a power conditioner, which has a master switch. Everything goes off when not in use.

    Antec Sonata

    I have one. I needed a new case anyway, so I got Sonata. It can be considered very quite for office applications, but not "dead" quite for music recording purposes. I would say it is reasonably quite. Its got some nice features though. Antec power supply has a single variable speed fan - they...

    Does anyone know why....

    And one more, if you are running XP, do you have system restore on? When set to "max" it can easily take up to 1 gb.

    Does anyone know why....

    What are you using to read the free space data? Are you seeing all files and folders, including hidden files, swap file, recycle bin file, temp files? Have your box crashed lately? There could be a number of reasons, including known FAT32 space bug. Try to run Scandisk and see what it reports...

    I for audio, I for everything else?

    I use one box solely for audio. No office, no games, no networking. This allows to keep the number of tasks that system is running down to the minimum.
