Tweaking Vista for Music Production

For the last 6 months I have been running Microsoft's new Vista operating system on my laptop. After going in with very low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised with it. It didn't take long for hardware companies and software vendors to get their arses in gear and get updates and drivers available for the kit I use.

Vista out of the box isn't perfect though and requires a little tweaking to get the most out of it for music production. Peter Kirn at CreateDigitalMusic.com has written a few posts on these tweaks. They are:
