what do you guys think is a better set-up for a DAW, does anyone know whether Software like Sonar or CUBASE take advantage of the 64bit technology? i heard a lot of older software out there will run on a 64bit processor as a 32 bit process, and not get done any faster?

i want a stereo effects processor to use for multi-effects (not including reverb which i want to use a Lexicon pcm91.) the three brands i assume are best are TC Electronic (g-force?), eventide (eclipse), and Yamaha (spx-90).

any recommendations would be appreciated.

So here is the deal...

I want to get a laptop to use as a mobile DAW/electronic(midi)insturment/effects processor. I have the PreSonus Firpod and use a Cubase/Reason combo and a variety of plugins (Waves, Amplitube, etc.) to do most of my recording/production. I was wondering if it would be better to get a multi-core comp (c2d or X2) or get a single core processor.

lately i have been more focused on mixing in the box. has any one else followed this trend this last year?

my out board gear list is weak but my computer is basically the mothership of my recording lab.

Hi folks,

Greetings all,

Firstly, I am a bass player only. I come here seeking advice, which most likely only those with your experience can provide.

What I need:

A high quality effects processor to use when playing my bass guitar live. It would include EQ/delay/chorus/compression etc.

i just wannt to know what reverb processors will have the best quality and that it will cost very cheap.

I'm just starting to learn how to record seriously and I want to buy something to make the sound better...signal processors.
The main problem is that i dont know what most of them do!

I kind of understan compressors and reverb, but not completely.

I am putting home studio together, but must be mindfull of budget. Have a good used computer dealer in town.I gave him the specs common to most of the machines designed for DAW and he said the best match would be some old servers he has coming in, so here is the deep theoretical question.

Hi there,

I'm building a new PC and was wondering if anybody could make any recommendations on a good motherboard/processor combo.

I'm currently running a AMD XP2400 w/512MB RAM.
Using a Delta 66 PCI card and OmniStudio I/O Box.
