Reply To: MIDI Keyboard Trouble

Don’t know if it was mentioned above, but with any DAW you should optimize your PC so that things like Sleep Mode never, ever kick in and mess stuff up. Same idea with these power saver things that come on so many PCs now. Always employ full power. You never want anything to change while Podium is UP — if only ’cause you never want anything like AutoUpdate to phone home and suck CPU and power or, even more important, you never want to have something kick in which just very likely might place a nasty pop or click on your track while recording the most amazing awesome solo you will ever play in your entire life. Green footprints and saving the planet by running a hobbled PC are for desk jobs, telemarketers, pencil pushers and internet bloggers. You are an engineer, producer and musician and your existence and respect depends on a top-notch system that does it right the first time every time (we all hope).
