Defragmenting the hard disk
(Windows only)
If you plan to record audio on a hard disk where you have
already stored other files, now is the time to defragment it.
Defragmentation reorganizes the physical allocation of
space on the hard disk in order to optimize its perfor-
mance. It is done with a special defragmentation program.
Register your software
We encourage you to register your software! By doing so
you are entitled to technical support and kept aware of up-
dates and other news regarding Cubase.
There are two ways to register:
• In Cubase, open the Help menu and select the Regis-
tration option.
This option is an Internet link that will open the Registration page of the
Steinberg web site. To register, simply follow the instructions on screen.
When you launch Cubase, you will also be prompted to launch the regis-
tration process.
• Included on the Cubase installation DVD, you can find a
registration form in pdf format. To register, print out the
form, enter all required information and send it to Steinberg.
!
It is crucial to the audio recording performance that
your hard disk is optimized (defragmented). You
should make sure to defragment regularly.
