Hi guys, new guy here.

I'm currently using a Korg D16 and I'm ready for something better to record our band. Don't need pro quality, but would obviously like to get the best I can afford. My budget is $1500~$2K.

As the title suggests, I'm torn between a new stand-alone workstation, which I'm quite comfy with, or a DAW, which I know nothing about.

Can anyone tell me what DAW Mixer Controllers have 64-bit drivers? I am trying to choose a Firewire mixer but I can't figure out which of them support 64 bit XP.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Hi there.

I'm new to this forum and am pretty excited i found it, 'cause i'm planning to build a new DAW for a small project studio i'm setting up at my place.

While reading some threads, I realised that lots of people have similar questions concerning their DAWs. So I'm coming up with such a question, again... :D

i just had made the switch to the venerable Protools.
but my computer is 4 years old an AMD with 1 gig ram 80gb HD.
I've been watching the Digidesign site about support and want to build my own daw.

so can you give me some advice please, about what processor to use amd or intel or anithing else?

thank you

I've always used plugins in the past. I'd like to use a couple of outboard processors with Cubase 3 SX.

My question is pretty simple. Is there a way to connect outboard gear to use as track plugs without using up my 2 channels of A/D and D/A?

Okay guys, I'm going to be ordering my first DAW system. I'm not the Build-it-yourself type guy, so I am going to have it custom ordered. What DAW manufacturers would you guys recommend to get the best quality, price, and support from? Also, I'm pretty much set on getting a PC. I've been a PC user all my life, so for me it's what I'm accustomed to.

I'm planning on building a new DAW sometime soon'ish. Here are the specs I've settled on so far after a small amount of research:

Greetings,

Let me begin by apologizing if you have come across this posting in more than one forum. I am casting a wide net in the hopes of taking advantage of as many varying groupings of expertise as I can.

Well, I'm going to build a new DAW soon.
I've built a few "ANUS"-machines a few years ago.
Always going for the Asus mobo's with i845, i865 or i875 chipset with Northwood P4's CPU. ( Socket 478 )
Matrox G550 or Radeon9200SE (on the buget models) Videocards.
Seagate and Western Digital HD's with 8 Mb cache.
