TheDhali: Maintain a clean system by learning to tweak the operating system.. In this figure my system is under 350mb of RAM. OS: Windows XP 32bit Professional - running Chrome. The browser is resting at google.com (I chose XP because its in my opinion the leanest of the windows OS’. You’ll notice quick response once you’ve prepared your OS for doing the work you are going to perform.

Get to this screen the “Task Manager” by hitting  -  Control + Alt + Delete simultaneously.

!: There are only 4 Processes running that are extra on top of an XP Install.
Keep everything very minimal on your start up by:

START  >  RUN.      

Type: “MSConfig”  ENTER

Sift Through your tabs and observe your settings here. Careful when changing things but be confident and edit your start up processes and programs. Keep it LEAN. It will respond very well.

In the Photo above..You will notice that nothing is sucking any power from my 4 CPU’s they are basically just having coffee right now. The meter reads 1%.  Ah.. What do I want to do. Computer. *deeor.  Take over world. 

This is a good dashboard to monitor your PC if you have any concerns about it running slow, you can see what its up to at that very moment. See which program is demanding the most resources and kill whatever it is that is robbing you of that power you need to DO WORK.

“On a Budget - Custom PC Audio Workstation”

We purchased these parts and threw em together.

The Rig:

AMD Quad Core Black 3.0ghz
ASUS P5 MotherBoard
8GB RAM
700watt PS / ATX Full Tower
M-AUDIO Audiophile PCI
Ubuntu Studio / Windows XP SP3

“Works GREAT! Smashing sound for around 1k usd.”

The DSP Cards: Now we want to push the limits and break into the professional polished sound. With the latest drop of the Universal Audio UAD-2 QUAD DSP Accelerator Card, my thirst for power was turning my head toward Universal Audio to harness the power of a full 128 channel analog mixer.

Play the Video. Wow. Powerrrrrrrrrrrrr….. XD

OR…

On the budget tip. for now you can start by picking up one of their older cards.

The PCI UAD-1 - Which sells on ebay.com for about 100-150 usd.

http://www.ebay.com/ (Search for UAD-1)

For this setup we’ll pick up a few of these to start.
We are only at the point of learning and high end cards will be at another level when we have more of an understanding…at a later date..we’ll leave it to the engineers to Pro G the technology while we Pro G the skills, and meet em in the middle.

For Now even our one UAD-1 when compared to nothing nets you..

CS-1 Channel Strip

DM-1/L Delay Modulator

RS-1 Reflection Engine

EX-1 EQ & Compressor

Nigel

Realverb Pro

Pultec EQP-1A

1176 SE Limiting Amplifier

Preflex - Amp/Cab Simulator

Gate/Comp

Phasor

Mod Filter

Trem/Fade

Mod Delay

Echo

TheDhali: FYI - One UAD-2 Quad is Equal to 10 UAD-1 Cards. Wow.
Tax return to DSP Card = Good Job, this kind of investing is what we need in this world, the economy and the ears of all are better because you made this commitment. Pro F’in G.

Bottom Line.. If you use power. and looking for more. to make a machine that can take what you wanna give it. Look into Universal Audios DSP Cards. Imagine a phat mix in Pro Tools Now.
