I'm going to build a computer dedicated for recording, what should be minimum specs?

I am looking at getting an R16 for the time being. I have been sitting here watching videos on YouTube but I still have a question. Lets say I record guitar and bass tracks at home to a drum machine or metronome, then I want to take that recording to a drummers house. My question is how would I be all 8 tracks free?

Hi!

I'm having some problems...I use a hercules 16/12FW interface and my computer is a old amd 2800+ with 2 gb of ram. It's having a hard time working with 48channels and vst:s, so I figured I'd upgrade it.

So i'm trying to record bass.

I am using an Ashdown ABM evo iii head and I'm running the D.I out in to the zoom and it is making a horrible humming noise. It sound like an earthing issue.

Hi all,

I have decided to buy a recording computer and recording software to finally get my stuff on tape. I was wondering if any of y'all could recommend me a good, affordable laptop ($500-$1,500 range) and a good recording software program? I am looking to load my own tracks into the recording software, so programs like Reason don't work for me.

Thanks!

Good choice...nice sound quality, reliable, decent wind rejection. The US Prez uses an SM57 with a foamie on it. Thoughts? -Johntodd

Hello guys,

This isn't recording related but I use this forum for help some times and thought someone might be able to advise.

If I get a pair of Active PA speakers or passive speaks with an amp is there ANY reason I wouldn't be able to use a Zoom R16 as a mixer for the purposes of a small live gig for about 150-200 people.

Hi,

What are your thoughts on a DAV BG-1u + WARM WA12 (or upcoming TB12) as a preamp combo vs the Focusrite Liquid Channel and ISA One?

These will be used mainly to record vocals and acoustic/elec guitar and bass.

The advantage of the Focusrite pres is they have built in A/D conversion which may be an advantage. My interface is a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP.

Currently building up 2 racks.
2 Furman PL plus in each supply power distro.
