    New PC Specs / Platinum upgrade

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Posted

    What I do (only if it helps with inspiration :) )

    • Main OS drive: NVME 500 GB
    • Apps (DAWs, Office etc): another NVME 1tb - I use this PC for everything including music
    • All samples/libraries: 2 HDDs of 2tb each in Raid 0 mode (to get to SSD speeds) - I have all installers available in case something fails anyway
    • Project files: 1 separate 500GB SSD
    • Backups (done externally on a 6tb USB 3 HDD) for the OS/APPS/Project drives using Acronis every 2 weeks, Backup for the libraries done only when I trigger it (it takes ages to backup zzzz....)

    I hope it helps, my 0.02

    Hi everyone, amazing job by the Bakers!!

    One bug (at least on my setup): Cannot resize the punch recording location on the timeline (using red flag on the line). I have to select a new area (green) and toggle the auto punch button for it to resize. I use the feature quite a bit, so it can be quite annoying. Looping and selection are working ok.

    Is anyone having the same problem?

    Has anyone tried using a virtual machine for their DAW?

    VMs will add a ton of latency to the DAW; It might work if you limit yourself to mixing/mastering, recording I see as a big limitation. 

    There are ways to pass-thru PCI devices to the VM (making the VM have direct access to the device). This is quite common in servers but setting that up requires quite a bit of know-how. Also, you will need for sure a dual GPU as once you pass thru the GPU to the VM, you are effectively disconnecting it from the host OS. Some other devices like KB/Mouse may be on the same boat (I am not sure as I've never done it....).

    This is on my to-do list eventually....

    I hope this helps

     

    Powershell script to disable devices power settings

    in General Music Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Nicolas Morales

    Hello all

    I am not sure how many of you dislike the idea of having to check USB / network hubs power settings every time windows has an update or you connect and reconnect devices. I personally find it a PITA. 

    I did some research and came over a powershell script to do exactly that; I readapted it to cover USB Hubs, USB Connectors and Network cards. 

    Placed it somewhere in your computer (i.e. C:\). You need to be in the directory you placed the script for it to work...

    Then run powershell in admin mode (right click on the start button --> Windows Powershell (admin) --> go to the location you placed the script (i.e. cd c:\) --> type "& '.\Disable Power Schedule.ps1'" 

    It works very well :), and saves a ton of time especially if you have many USB devices like I do. 

    Fell free to use it
