RE: Windows 8.1 - An everyday setup

As I stated before about Fidelizer's core optimizations.

1. Multimedia Class Scheduler Service or MMCSS optimization: You may see some DAW software having MMCSS options and we have no clue what they do specifically as if it’s developers’ secrets. At least you can find explanation in Fidelizer and here’s how it’s done.
-Keep audio task working steady without losing focus to other tasks
-Raise over all audio task priority such application, I/O, etc.
-More time slice for audio resource utilization (Much more frequently)

2. Kernel timer resolution optimization: I first discovered this from DPC Latency checker software. I used to have stuttering audio for low latency playback but running this software stopped stuttering. So I looked further and found it changed kernel timer resolution from 15.6ms to 1ms fixing this stuttering issue. So I added this to Fidelizer as well and will set it to lowest possible (0.5ms). This would solve most low latency issues in digital audio.

3. Audio thread priority optimization: Here’s a real gem. This is the only and unique feature that I couldn’t find any software claiming to do it and needs to be done from Core Audio’s API call. It will increase audio thread priority, real audio thread not raising some audio processes priority so audio performance is improved from its core.

1) is MMCSS optimizations and 2), 3) are done through coding with API commands. What you did was extension of features in Extremist optimization level (stopping services). Since core optimizations can't be done from batch script no matter what, I don't think Fidelizer would ever become obsolete unless you or someone write such software doing things like I said here.

Also, recent 6.4 version of Fidelizer has removed setting up homepage since I realize opening its website after optimizations is more than enough to prevent companies secretly using Fidelizer in their music server products without asking developer.
