Computer: the secret for a good recording

Yesterday I formated my Pc in order to install just the tools that I use on our recordings. It is important to have an enhanced machine, without unecessary applications and also a good sound board, memory and a lot of space in disk.

One tip: keep an image of the Operational System and working tools (http://www.symantec.com/pt/br/norton/ghost) at the starting point. Burn a dvd and keep it safe to use in case of hd crashes or software issues. Recover exactly what you have is essential to the project maintenance. For those Who works with musical production must be concerned on the minimal details.

Some professionals go beyond that and prefer a work station install dedicated to that, without any other install but the main tools. No extra resources allowed as IE, system tools: just the 40 MB of RAM !

Ok let's back to work.
