Hey all,
I'm looking to build a system to handle large amounts of MIDI tracks running high-quality orchestral samples (for those of you in the know; things like EWQLSO Platinum), and am using this informative, albeit out-dated post, as a guide; http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/showthread.php/67241-The-new-standard-for-a-PC-based-DAW.-Part-1?daysprune=-1
I'm looking at an i7 quad of at least 3ghz (maybe the i7-2600K), multiple SATA3 drives, and 24gb of DDR3 RAM. A gaming card will probably also feature, i.e. an ATI HD5850/5950. It also needs to be able to handle a firewire audio interface.
I'm just wondering how to make this all work re. motherboard, PSU, etc, and any recommendations and advice for dealing with these kinds of numbers, or hardware that would be preferable to the above, would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
- HateDread.
