Using Ghost I have imaged the partition to be used for easy restore before any gig so you can be sure there will be no issues.
#M AUDIO XPONENT DRIVER FIX DRIVERS#
I have installed the Xponent ASIO sound card drivers and the Torq DJ software but no other software. There are a lot that you do not need for DJ’ing and diasbling them can give any computer a performance boost. All unnecessary Windows components have been uninstalled and I have disabled any service ( see this post) that isn’t going to be required. RAID, AMD processor management, as well as WiFi for Windoze updates. The partition is on a striped RAID array for optimal performance. I have set up a dedicated 3 GB partition on my mobile desktop, a Clevo D900k, with WinXP SP 2 and all Windoze updates installed. I don’t have 100% confidence to play live with it at this point in time, but I hope that will change by the next version. The software is a year on and up to V1.04 so they are addressing problems – but more to resolve. The Torq software still seems to have a few problems and has crashed a number of times, which is a few times too many. Having had the system for a couple of weeks now using the included Torq mixing software I have been pretty happy with the results. The Xponent includes a two channel sound card so I wouldn’t have to worry about using the crappy on board Ac97 sound card for the headphone channelas an added bonus of upgrading. The pitch would drop and the sound would start distorting, usually as a second track was added to a mix. The Audiophile sound card with ASIO drivers crashed way too often to be performance worthy. I had been having some problems with my existing system a M-Audio external Audiophile sound card and Virtual DJ software. I enjoyed my self so much over the next 24 hours that I went and got myself one. A friend was visiting a few weeks ago and brought in his M-audio Torq Xponent in for me to have a mix on.
