Memaksimalkan Kerja PC untuk Home Recording

Mood sedang ON. Gitar, mouse, dan keyboard beroperasi ditangan. Melodi mengalir dengan deras. Lalu tiba-tiba, terdengar suara ‘brebet, brebet, bbet, bbbet" dari speaker saat record mode di posisi on. Tidak lama kemudian, PC hang! Huh! Bete kan???!!!

Itu yang saya rasakan pada saat recording analog khususnya gitar dan vokal melalui software sequencer. Salah satu penyebab menurunnya kinerja PC adalah terlalu padatnya pendelegasian tugas bagi memori (RAM) untuk berbagai kegiatan reguler Windows, seperti screen saver, system restore, automatic system update, auto detect, dan lain sebagainya.

Apa yang harus di lakukan dengan PC kita? Betul, tambah RAM!!! Tapi itu kalau dana mencukupi kan? He, he, he.

Dengan peralatan perang yang ada, sebenarnya kita juga bisa berbuat banyak dengan PC kita tanpa menambah biaya. PC perlu dimodifikasi melalui settingan Windows sebagai operating system.

Silahkan ikuti tip-tip di bawah ini untuk memaksimalkan kinerja PC melalui settingan Windows. Selamat mencoba !

24. Disable CDROM Autoplay

One of the very important (and well documented) tweaks in Windows 98SE, was
to disable CDROM autoplay (auto insert notification). Disabling CDROM
autoplay no longer offers a significant performance benefit in Windows XP,
and therefore you do not need to disable it. Just don't insert a CD during a
crucial recording.

However, if you really want to disable it then here a few different methods.

Method 1

Start > Run > Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom

Set autorun to 0.

Method 2

Open My Computer Right Click on each CDROM and choose Properties Click on
the Auto Play tab In the drop down box you can choose the Action for each
choice shown in the drop down box

Method 3

Go to Start->Run->gpedit.msc Computer Config -> Administrative Template ->
System Double click Turn off Autoplay Enable it.

25. Disable Disc Indexing
