I'm slightly new to pc building and only know about gaming builds, not recording music.
My friend is a musician (guitar, bass and soon an electric drumset, and maybe vocals) and wants me to build him a pc he can use as a media pc, but mostly for recording/mixing music.
He's on a slight budget, but he always finds a way to get money when it comes to music. Absolute MAX budget is around 500$ (give or take 20$ bucks)
He wants to be able to record using his Hughes and Ketner head, and not just plugging straight into his pc.
Anyone got any hardware ideas? I've been told that recording PC's take a lot of RAM and a nice sound card, and the rest doesn't matter as much. Is this true?
Hardware links (preferably newegg) would be nice. That includes stuff like mics and good software.
His setup: Jackson RR3 Crimson Swirl Rhoads and Jackson Kelly. Idk what kind but both have active EMG. Hughes Ketner Vortex Head.
Thanks for your time.
