▪ It is not recommended to run the laptop on battery, as built-in power management systems
might slow the clock rate of the CPU in an effort to extend battery life.
▪ Disconnect all unused hardware (e.g., printer, scanner). This will increase the amount of
processing power available for your music software.
▪ Laptops often are equipped with built-in devices that disturb audio processing, most com-
monly Bluetooth transceivers, an Ethernet network adapter, or a wireless LAN card. You
might need to disable these devices while working with MASCHINE.
