Need a Computer for startup Recording Studio

I have had a couple of posts on here about home recording, but as from January I am turning my rehearsal studio in a recording studio. Obviously we are not talking Abbey Road, I will be on a tight budget. I am looking to offer bands good quality recording for a low price. So I need to get a good setup. I already have most of the software so its mainly hardware to start with.

best recording program for an older computer?

hi,
i'm trying to get my sister setup with a recording program
her desktop is a pentium 4 2.4 hz, windows xp
but she only 1.5 gb of ram.
i noticed Ableton and studio one both ask for minimum 2 gb of ram,
am going to try to add ram, but dont know if i can.
will be hooking her up with a mobile pre usb m-audio box, so that should be fine,

Which DAW and Computer System Do You Use? Multiple Choices Apply.

Ask and you shall recieve.

This is as comprehensive as I could get. There may be a few stragglers that I left out. If that is the case please say so. There's Bias Peak Studio but I don't eve know if people use that. Do they? Let me know.

Please vote for all that apply.

Recording with computer + webcam?

Hello

Provided we can put the PC close to the table where people will be talking and I can run a cable between the sound mixer and the PC, are webcams good enough to record a conference/lecture? Are there webcams that can be put on a tripod?

Also, for that purpose, which application would you recommend for PCs and Macs?

Thank you.

Computer Disc Problem. Discs come up reading blank

I have a problem. When I burn mp3 music to discs all of them play fine on various CD players, DVD players etc., but some do not play on my laptop. When I put the discs in they come up as blank. I have searched everywhere on the net can't find the solution. This only happens to some of my discs and only CD-Rs. Why is this? Thank you.
