Build specifically for DAW/Reaper/Audio

Here we go... these were lifted from a forum post on the Reaper Forum https://forums.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=288791 (see post #35)

=====================================
Reaper Preferences->Buffering

--Audio reading/processing thread = 16 (or sometimes 8 better) (14900K has 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores, hyperthreading gives you 16 virtual performance cores).
--Thread Priority = Time Critical
--Behavior = 15 Very aggressive
--Anticipative FX processing = on, render ahead = 200ms
----Allow on tracks with FX = on [I think is this is a typo : *without* FX?]]
----Allow live FX on 8 CPUs


Reaper Preferences->General->Advanced UI/system tweaks

--Do not allow OS to relocate worker thread = on (helps on some projects).

Process Lasso settings

--ProBalance Disabled
--Performance Mode Enabled

--For Reaper.exe
CPU priority = Realtime
I/O priority = High
CPU affinity = 0-31
Power Profile = High Performance
Efficiency Mode = off
Induce Performance Mode = on
Memory Priority = Normal

--For process svchost.exe (Local ServiceNetworkRestricted -p) [Audiosrv]
CPU Priority = Realtime
CPU Affinity = CPU 4
I/O Priority = high
Efficiency Mode = off

--For process svchost.exe (Local ServiceNetworkRestricted -p -s AudioEndPointBuilder) AudioEngine
CPU Priority = High
CPU Affinity = CPU 2
I/O Priority = high
Efficiency Mode = off

We can't upload .bat files, so I put it in the spoiler instead.
make them safe and rename to example.bat/txt. or 7z them.

you need to get yourself a little repository so you got all your eggs in one basket(which makes your stuff easier for users(and yourself) to find) when you need to update things.

Thanks, good idea. I went back and updated that post, which then made me remember that I later learned how to do it without a batch file, so I added that new information and attached the script too.

For sure. I finally got time to really get back into all my computer stuff this week and for the rest of summer, so I'm trying to organize months of notes, ideas, and tests, randomly jotted down, and prep myself to get working on the big projects again, as well as making things more accessible for others. There's a ton of feedback that I haven't been able to incorporate yet, because I reached a point where I was overwhelmed by adding more to-do list items than I could eliminate, due to not having enough free time and also waiting on Microsoft to do a number of things.
