  Do you mean set processor scheduling to background?

  How do you get rid of it? Reformat and re-install?

  The time set-up thing worries me. It's my project I'm going to mix. It's
important and I don't want any (or as few as possible) frustrations. I've
grown to dislike trouble shooting.

  With one UAD card roughly how many tracks can you add compression and e.q.
to? Can you put two UAD cards in one machine? How good is the e.q. on this
card? I forgot about having to get Mac versions of all my plugs. I don't
really have that many. I have almost all the PSP plugs (which is what I'm
maxing out my CPU with) the B4 and M-Tron. Well, I guess that's enough.
