Screen Resolutions and Digital Audio Recording

When running a sequencing/digital audio recording program on a PC with a 486 processor, or one with a slower Pentium chip, it is advisable to lower the screen resolution of your monitor to reduce the performance "hit" on the CPU. This allows more headroom for the CPU, will improve system stability and performance, and in some instances gets rid of clicks and pops in audio files. Try a 256 color setting (8-bits), if that still isn’t smooth enough, take it down to 16 colors (4-bits). In Windows 95 this setting is in "Control Panels" under "Display." Open "Display" and select "Settings"; make the appropriate changes, and restart your machine. Your computer will thank you!
