just read about people's DAW's and was amazed.

genarally more gadgets and gizmos involved than people in a hollywood movie.

so i was just wondering how long it took you guys to set it up...

and please be realistic. 8-)

Hello, this is my first post to this forum. I have been researching the topic of creating a DAW seriously for the past two-three weeks. I have decided I want to have the system built by someone else, as I would rather not learn how to assemble a system with premium parts.

I'm not sure what software supports it, but 2 I'm looking at do; Cubase 3 SX and Sonar 5.

I'm doing a new computer build and am trying to decide whether to go with Windows XP x64. I'm nervous about drivers. The computer will be strictly for recording.

I've been researching many front end options. I've read about them individually, but haven't seen them discussed together, compared/contrasted. I really only need 2 channels. I'm not opposed to more, but I imagine a 2 channel setup will yield better quality per channel.. My needs are pretty basic. I'll be mixing in the box.

Dell has a Promotion going for a Precision Workstation /w 2.8 DC P4, 160 GB sata HD and a free upgrade to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR /w Windows XP 64 bit.

My current Daw is a SC P4 3.2 GHz /w 3 GB Ram but running on std XP. And 1 gb of ram isn't really being utilized. I have an E-Mu 1820M as my audio interface.

Hello!

I am about to build another workstation, and I am looking for some advice on what NOT to get...
In general I mean, are the latest Intel Mobo/Processors any good?
are there any modern hardware catches? on-board video etc.

Any help would be grand

I'm in the market for one of those spiffy self-contained portable digital workstations, and my eyes have glazed over trying research the many brands and models. I currently run an ADAT system that I'm pretty happy with, but would like to have a unit I can haul around and use remotely.

Greetings all, my first post here. I've read lots of useful info here and now I'm after some specific info.

ok, i use just a Tascam us-122, a dynamic sure mic, and Cubase SX2.
