Optimizing XP PC for Audio Recording

[tsphillips]

Thanks to people here I know more about optimizing my new PC for audio.

Tonight I will install the Cubase Limited Edition that comes with my new Aardvark soundcard and breakout box.

I am setting up a logon just for music and will go in and turn off all those things the various websites recommend disabling for good home recording performance.

Here is my question: Should I install the program first, and then do all the suggested changes to my settings? Or should I do all the setting changes first, and then install Cubase? Or does it not matter one way or the other?

Thanks a lot.

I don't think it matters...


But talking about XP-tweaks: You've seen this page? www.musicxp.net
