hi everyone !!!
new in the pc-music field. Got a PC - P-3, 500, Dual boot 98 SE/ XP OS, 40 GB HD, 128 mb ram, onboard sound, cd-writer, 15" monitor, stereo speakers.
PLZ HELP ME OUT setting a STUDIO at HOME.
Should I upgrade or go for new PC. Let me know about the configuration
( medium budget ) and other accesories which I should need for recording and editing music . I have got a synth and a guitar. I want to do some vocal recordings also.
Thanks a lot in advance. waiting eagerly for your reply.
It looks like it's time for a new PC. You could get something that woud every piece of hardware over what you have now for less than 5 benjamins.
500Mhz proc is not enough, but it is at least a start. 40G hard drive won't work, and 128M of memory is barely enough to run any music software these days, not to mention actually get any recording done.
I agree with the 64bit proc, I'd even go further and suggest a 939 socket AMD, since it has dual channel memory.
Another thing you may want to consider, is getting an external firewire or USB (but preferably firewire) soundcard that supports ASIO drivers. If you can wait a while, PCI Express promises to perform the best as far as sound cards are concerned. Having said that, I run with a Terratec Aureon Firewire. I would definitely reccommend it.
I am just planning to do some song recording my voice with my synthesizer and guitar and some sort of editing . Thats all what I want to do....any address of dealers of M-AUDIO in INDIA. By the way where are you staying at DELHI....and what kind of music you are upto...
