need knowledge for setting up a new system -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:need knowledge for setting up a new system Posted by: oceanic Date:7/27/2003 3:52:38 PM What would you recommend for running vegas & sound forge with an echo interface. I'm giving up on my g3, and want to put a new processor & motherboard into my pc. I've already got a 120gb HD waiting to be put in, and I'm looking at spending around $350 to take my 366mhz school use pc to a recording machine. A specific recommendation would be awesome, 'cause I'm gonna be doing this pretty soon, and am not knowledgable as to what all is available. Thanks- you can also write me at iron00monkey@hotmail.com

Just have to be careful to buss reverbs rather than inline, but we should all be doing that anyway, eh ? ;-) geoff

(1) Digital audio labs card (2) P4 2.4 (3) 2 GB RAM (4) 2 Hard drives -- one for processing of data and the other for storage (5) the Drives are backed up automatically This system works seemlessly -- and I recommend that you get one with at least 3 PCI slots so that you can have dedicated sound inputs for different sources.

I built a system soley around audio processing work.
(1) Digital audio labs card
(2) P4 2.4
(3) 2 GB RAM
(4) 2 Hard drives -- one for processing of data and the other for storage
(5) the Drives are backed up automatically

This system works seemlessly -- and I recommend that you get one with at least 3 PCI slots so that you can have dedicated sound inputs for different sources.
