Instructions
* 1

Give yourcomputer a performance checkup. Just as it's wise to have a space dedicated to recording music, the same is true of the computer you'll be using. Using it purely for recording music will help youstreamline and improve its performance. The simultaneous use of other software programs, backgrounds and taskbars will slow the performance of your computer, which can lead to dropouts and latencyproblems. You want the computer to run as efficiently as possible, since recording and editing music files can use a lot of processing power. To this end, disable all unnecessary services. If possible, use adifferent computer for your Web browsing to avoid the risk of viruses and spyware that could infect and compromise the performance of your recording software.
