Configuring XP for Logic Platinum

[jamez_23]

Any tips for optimising XP for use with Logic ?

We were running win98 - loaded XP on to get a bit more up to date ......

Logic is running ok but when you drag a window or double click on a midi part the song stutters quite badly, the audio output was seamless with 98' - so only really a pain for "on the fly" editing ! No problems like this before XP !! On the upside though Reactor 4 now works WOOOOOHOOOOOO !!!

Is it due to the fact that XP has not been tweaked properly - anything I should check - any tips >?

Turn off *all* the display effects (Mouse shadow, window animation, the lot). You'd be amazed how much hassle is caused by unnecessary writing to the graphics card....

Hiya.
Here's a couple of links you might find useful to trawl through...

Windows XP DAW Optimization Guide

MusicXP.net - Tuning Windows XP for Audio/Music Applications

That should cover most of it.
