If you don't want to create a separate installation for performance, the next best thing is to set up a user account that is set up to run less software at startup. You can then boot into your stripped down, high performance OS when you want to perform with Resolume.
While software like internet firewalls, virus checkers, desktop utilities and so on are really useful for day to day use, they do consume computer resources and you do not need them running during a performance.įor maximum stability and performance, the best thing to do is to have more than one installation of Windows or OSX on your computer, with one set up with the bare minimum of software running. The nature of audio-visual performance is that it needs as much processing power as possible, especially if you want to mix lots of layers, apply loads of audio and video effects and work on a high resolution.
While Resolume is designed to get you up and running quickly, if you are serious about live audio visual performance then you should really take some steps to get the most out of your computer and your content.
