If you plan (or doing so already) to use your PC (Windoze PC) for serious audio work like sequencing, playing back multiple audio streams (multitrack recording/ playback) etc...It would be a great idea to optimize Windows to perform these tasks.
A standard Windows installation is NOT ready to perform serious audio work. Since audio is a realtime thing we dont want to be pestered with dropouts, glitching and stuttering.
A good thing to start with anyway is disabeling any real- time virus scanning software. Virus scanners generally tend to slow down a PC and can interrupt audio (and video!) streams.
Secondly setting windows processing priority to "background tasks" is one of the best (and most needed) tweaks! Things running in the "background"/ realtime such as your audio card's (ASIO) drivers get higher priority (and since it's audio we are working with...). Here is a link on how to perform this tweak.

Happy DAW tuning!
