Just got a $20,000 small business loan to improve my studio. We just bought a new Sony DMX-R100 console (its freakin' sweet!!!) and 2 PCI cards to get the full 36 channel interface.
Now its time to build a PC from scratch to accommodate the new console. So I can drop a few thousand on a new PC and I know we want it to be a 64-bit OS system. The main need for this new PC build is for it to be able to process a lot of DSP and VST plugins in real time and retrieve data very very quickly. We will have situation where there will be up to 36 audio files at about 40-50mb a piece being played simultaneously. So I need a computer that will retrieve the data quickly and processing power that can handle about anything we throw at it with no lag.
Suggestions?
