  1. Another bump. Haven't found any info after a load of searches. Any insight would be helpful.
  2. Hate to be the guy to bump my own thread, but if anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate it. All I want is for the "Recent Files" list to include .WAV files. Maybe a registry tweak?
  3. I've played thousands of DJ gigs on everything from super cheap Windows laptops, high end Windows laptops, and Macbooks. The idea of a modded version of Windows in a live environment is pretty sketchy, you never know when a BSOD is going to ruin your set. In ye olde days, I rocked a Win7 i3 machine with as many performance tweaks as possible, still crashed all the time and took forever to restart. The most stable system for DJing IME is a Macbook Pro, but yes they are expensive and this isn't a Mac VS PC debate. I'm just sayin, you should save up from a few gigs and get a laptop with good specs. If you only made a measly $200 per gig, you just have to save up from 4 gigs to get a pretty decent $800 laptop.
  4. Not sure exactly what update this was, but it was several months ago... In the Quick Access section of Explorer, it shows recent files, which is quite useful to for sending files out. After an update, the Recent Files list no longer shows recent audio files, specifically .WAV. I work in audio and when I export a file for a client, I used to just pop over to the RF list and grab the file there for upload. It seems weird that this feature went away, since it was so useful. With such large drives with TONs of files, even very well organised, it takes time to navigate to the target folder and find the file. Is there a tweak to get this feature back?
  5. That makes perfect sense. I'll get a switch!
  6. So, to start, my internet is limited to satellite, so it's already annoyingly slow. (CMON STARLINK!!!) My network chain is as follows: Viasat terminal (all routing turned off because it's a POS and drops WIFI all the time) > Zyxel C3000Z (as Router and WAP) > 150' Cat5 to Office > Asus RT-N12 set up as AP. When running wired LAN through the final AP, my upload speed on wired connections goes down from ~10mbs to ~40kbps!!! The WIFI upload speed is fine at ~8mbps. If I take the Asus out of the equation everything is good, but then I don't have WIFI in my office, which is in a separate building. I don't understand why the Asus is cutting out my upload. It's routing is turned off and it should just be acting as a WAP and Switch, I'll admit it's a pretty cheap unit, but I'm not asking it to do much. If I add an additional switch before the Asus, so I can have both wired and wireless in the office, is it going to do the same thing or should it solve the issue? Reccomendations?
  7. Yes, those in door/in wall fans are exactly what I was looking for! Thanks.
  8. I'm building a little outbuilding for my personal office and I'm planning on a very small server room, really more of a closet with a couple VSL servers, Plex server, and a NAS. Maybe 4 servers max and a handful of network switches, LTE amps, and other little tech doodads. The main area (20'x16') will be cooled by a 12,000 BTU mini-split, so no central air to pull from. The machine room will be something like 4'x4'x8'. This is in the southern US and ambient temps can get pretty brutal. Any ideas on a cost effective option to cool such a small space? The quieter the better.
  9. Yes, I guest I'll see how much a higher gain antenna helps. The tower seems to crap out fairly regularly, I'm assuming it's because it's serving a lot of people. If the Yagi does not do the trick, I'll try a parabolic dish.
  10. Thanks I've got a a booster with an omnidirectional antenna, going to swap for a directional Yagi one since I've found the exact location of the tower. Hopefully that helps.
  11. That's my strongest option so far, but LOS is an issue since the house is in a bit of a valley. Maybe with a 60 ft tower.
  12. I've seen that video, but will that work with two entirely different sources? And I already looked into running fiber. Nearest node is 8 miles away. It would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to run it.
  13. So, my internet sucks. Really sucks. I moved to a rural area and no ISPs pipe out this far. No fiber, no DSL, nothing. Tried to set up business class internet and it's a no go in my area. The only option is satellite. Currently using the top consumer teir of Viasat. And other than the ping (800ms), it's "okay" during clear days (~50-70mb down, 1-15 up) but the network gets congested at night and usually slows below 1mb down. When it rains (here or at the ground unit) it stops outright. The $170/mo bill is pretty wack for internet this bad, but I would pay double that for fiber if I could get it. At night, or during cloudy days I have been tethering my phone with PDAnet+ for 20mb-ish outside of peak hours. But it's still slow AF during peak hours from 6pm-2am when I want to be streaming movies and whatnot. Is there a way to run the satellite and tether connections in parallel to get better speeds? Or perhaps run two phones together? Any other ideas?
  14. Silly me, it was the OS. Installed Windows 10 and it works. Strange though, considering I have 8.1 on a different rig and everything is working fine with that.
  15. Just an update, installed Studio One and it loads up fine! So it looks like the issue may indeed be with Ableton, contrary to my earlier thought. I'm gonna mess with drivers and if that doesn't work I will try a new OS.
