Title: Pro Tools/Windows users, a few questions....
Post by: Gordon on February 12, 2021, 01:56:32 PM
I'm sure there are some Pro Tools/Windows users here.  I have a few questions.  First I'm not using and will likely never use PT.  I own my own computer repair/IT business.  A client of mine has a home studio and I'll likely be custom building him a pc.  It will be i7 or i9 based so lots of cores and hyperthreading.  His current build is a 4th gen i5 so only 4 core and no hyperthreading at all.   He mainly uses Reaper & Studio One 2.  He does use PT11  some.  From what I've read both Reaper & SO benefit greatly from hyperthreading.  What concerns me is I'm reading that you should turn off hyperthreading and turbo boost for PT!  Anyone with experience care to chime in?    I found lots of forum comments related to this and this article.....
