IMPORTANT: See Dig i001 for Windows compatibility section of the Digidesign Website for complete compatibility requirements: http:\/\/www.digidesign.com\/compato\/We have seen better performance on computers that have less components attached and non-custom versions of the BIOS or Windows. For maximum performance, a dedicated qualified ATA\/IDE or SCSI disk drive with FAT32 file system is required. All Pro Tools LE sessions should be stored on a dedicated drive and all Digidesign system files should be stored on the system boot drive. Although it is possible to record sessions to your PC&#8217;s boot drive, this is not recommended and full 24-track performance is not guaranteed. After Installing your Digi 001 hardware and software in your PC, please make the following adjustments to your Windows settings to ensure optimal performance:Disable Auto-Insert Notification for CD-Rom and removable media drives: * From the desktop, right-click My Computer and choose Properties.* In the System Control Panel, click the Device Manager tab.* Locate and double-click the device for your CD-ROM. In the CD Rom Properties dialog, click the Settings tab.* Deselect the option for Auto Insert Notification and click OK.* Repeat for any removable media devices, such as JAZ and ZIP drives.* Close the System Control Panel. Enable DMA for any IDE Drives: * From the desktop, right-click on My Computer and choose Properties.* In the System Control Panel, click on the Device Manager tab.* Locate and double-click the device for your IDE hard drive. In the Disk Drive Properties dialog, click the Settings tab.* Enable (check) the DMA option and click O.K.* Repeat for any additional IDE drives.* Close the System Control Panel.Other Software and Hardware Affecting System Performance.Pro-Tools LE can also be affected by other software and hardware drivers installed on your computer. For best possible performance, it is recommended that you: * Avoid running other Windows programs at the same time as Pro Tools LE.* Turn off any software utilities that run in the backround, such as calendars and virus protection.* Disable Windows System sounds. In the Sound Control Panel set the Sound Scheme to No Sounds.* If your video display card supports it, enable Bus Mastering in the manufacturer&#8217;s Control Panel.* Disable any networking cards.* Turn off any power management features of your system. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33300],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the How do I optimize my PC for use with a Windows Digi 001, Tool Box, or Pro Tools Free system? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/optimize-pc-for-windows-digi-001-tool-box-pro\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How do I optimize my PC for use with a Windows Digi 001, Tool Box, or Pro Tools Free system? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Start with the fastest Pentium III or AMD Thunderbird Processor you can afford (single processor) and at least 192 MB of RAM.
