Need advice on DAW

Post by SIXTO » Tue Feb 21, 2006 7:34 pm

My computer just crashed and now Im looking to just build one...
I want to run Live, Atomsphere, Trilogy, Stylus and multiple plugins..
This will be the first time I built a PC.. I have the 2496 sound card already... This PC will only be used for music

I am looking for suggestions for motherboard/processor/ram....


Thanks in advance for your help....

oh man.....you'll get a million different opinions

I'd suggest looking at the Live 5 Performance tests to start, look what scores high and what you can afford.
.asus cetrino lappy 2.0Ghz 2x7200 internal drives, 2GR
.carillion desktop AC-1 P4 1.86, 786RAM
.live 5, wavelab, cubase, reason, waves
.fender, gibson and danelectro guitars
.keybaords and other things electronic

I would go dual core AMD 64's. I eventually am going to do what you are doing so I don't know too much more, but I would say the AMDs for now, and 64 so that you can utilize when the time comes, though in the offing.

Good luck.

If you want I can give you my model numbers, this setup is working great. Tonight I'm changing over the audio harddrive to a RAID 0 setup, once I'm done, I'll post the performance test results.

I'd like the model numbers, please. I'm not familiar with the AMD stuff, but I think I'd like to build another machine soon....

TIA,
