Matt, or anyone else with a lot of experience with this:

I'm on the cusp of buying a new Win 7 computer to replace my XP sp3 machine.

It's great to hear that Windows 7 is handling audio recording without much in the way of tweaks.

I was curious about this, though: Sweetwater.com still has a list of recommended Windows 7 optimizations for audio work

http://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/downloads/Windows_7_Optimization_Guide_revB.pdf

Some of their recommendations:

1) Disable UAC

2) Disable USB power management

3) Change processor scheduling to "background services"

4) In BIOS, disable "Intel Speedstep", or "AMD Cool 'n Quiet" ir /"dynamic acceleration"


Some of these I remember from XP optimizations, but I was wondering if you agree with any of the changes that Sweetwater suggests in the PDF above. I didn't list them all because it's a fairly long list.

Thanks,

John
