Is this really the best group of components to make a great DAW? I decided to take a stab at putting it all together in one place for everyone to criticize!

Taking into account cost, performance and stability, the basic Foundation is a reasonable case that allows good cooling, with a special emphasis on power supply, noise (where possible) & memory quality.

I have bought one of these to help me mix DAW sessions and use all my analog outboard. It sums 16 mono or 8 stereo pairs to 2 with a trim pot on the master out….

So far I have patched into it via my 16 interface outputs like so

I am currently looking at several quotes on DAW tunkey systems. The more info I get the more these sales guys confuse me. They all say something different!
What's the best os for daw?

Due to the constant whining from my family for things like food, shelter, clothing, etc., I am always evaluating my gear and tend to get rid of those pieces I don't use very often in order to get new stuff.

Hello,

In an attempt to build a home recording studio, we ran out to buy a DAW (Mac, Digital Performer 3.0)last month. Wow we are feeling overwhelmed with the technology we have to learn given our limited background in computer and sound engeneering.

Wonder if anybody will be interested to give us a brief walkthrough of the system for a couple of days for a small fees?

I am a dance music producer looking for something to track my synths through before dropping them into my DAW. I run a MOTU 1224 system with Logic Audio, which ain't the best but suits my current budget. I then spit the outs through a tasty old AMEK console I have, with various bits of outboard.

i dont expect anyone to post step by step how to configure, but was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of websites or books?

also what about in bios, i have an iwill xp333 mobo where should i look to configure in there?

any info helps thanks
