I've heard that in a cramped environment such as the one I work in, the magnets between a pair of near-field monitors and the computer monitor can interfere with each other. Are there any near-fields available specifically for someone working with DAW's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all,

this is my first post to this forum.

I am about to build a DAW for mastering purposes, and I want the machine to be as stable as possible. There will not be any other use for it - running Samplitude, burning CD's and twiddling around with 2-trk audio will be the only use for it.

This is a system I've been thinking of:

This is just a general question on performance. I'd like to know what would it take with the current products (ie:MB, Processors, DDR, AGP Card & very reliable & quality SC) on the market, if one had the chance to get their hands on the best/fastest components, what would you pick to build the best PC DAW capable of numerous audio tracks, what would it be?

ie using it as if it were a 24 track tape machine and hooking it up to an analog mixer.

Well it's time for another build...( my fourth within a year)
This time I'm on a very limited budget so I thought I should do a 533 FSB system.

Hi,

Setup is a slow old PC with office-stuff etc and a second faster DAW-PC which I'd like to keep as clean and simple as possible. The smaller PC is for web-surfing & e-mail has a firewall and antivirus-software.

For file exchange I want to connect both PCs in a network (peer-to-peer, crosslink UTP cable).

I have a Mac G3 with a 500mhz processor with 768 MB of RAM, and 20 GB of Hardrive space (small, I know). I would appreciate suggestions on the proper equipment to buy for long term use. I am on a budget but would rather buy a couple of quality things first and build on a good platform than to try and conquer the DAW world all at once on a limited budget and end up with a half ass studio.

Now, I am planning to build my own DAW for the first time. This pc is going to be completely dedicated to audio, with no games, MS office type stuff, or internet on it. I am going to run a delta 44 for I/O and use Sonar 3 producer ed. I will also have Nero for burning and possibly Fruity loops, but that is still up in the air.

Is AMDs 64 bit processor of any use to a DAW person?, or how much does this apply to the interests of a recordist?
