Title: PC for recording
Post by: petter on August 12, 2008, 06:27:23 PM

Hi, I am tryin to set up a home recording studio and was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas of what i should get in the way of a PC. I imagine that the best (and cheapest lol) thing to do would be to custom build one, so if anyone has any ideas or info they can give me it would be greatly apreciated.

Okay, so i would suggest a Quad Core, ALOT of Ram, and a couple fast HDD's, i would write up a general parts list, but its fairly straight forward. For GPU Use a mid range one such as the ATi 4850, nothing too powerful.

Also, depends on your budget, and what software/hardware you will be using aswell, as it could be a good oppurtunity for a Mac Pro ;)

Stop trying to convert our members :taunt: xDD jk jk

Definitely a quad core, what matt said, a lot of ram. I'd go for a few 300GB Raptor HDDs or other 10k rpm drives too.

Yeah, definitely 10K Drives, you dont want all that RAM being filled by Stuff that needs to go on the Hdd.
