Solo Strike Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hello all, firstly apologies for the total newbie style post this is about to turn into. I've been reading this forum for a little while now and it seems you people are fairly knowledgable so hopefully you won't mind my queries too much! Basically I am after sorting myself out with a new PC, primarily for audio processing and Internet usage/dl'ing. However I've never actually bought a PC myself before, I've always had hand-me-down's and 2nd hand ones, so I was wondering what sort of spec's would be good for getting into making music a little more (my experience thus far is messing about on old versions of Fruity Loops, would like to get slightly more professional :)), in particular, which sound cards are good (would like to get a MIDI capable one ideally). Budget is looking at about £400-£500 ish. Cheers guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylonbitch Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 you want processing speed and memory. the more the better... and a decent upgrade path... the asus p4/p5 series of motherboards are prtetty good, and have loads of slots for bits. soundcard.. i a lways swear by m-audio...i dunno what your needs are, but if it's just midi in/out, and audio in/out, you can't go far wrong with the m-audio- audiophile.. usb or firewire... i believe there's a comparable edirol card for around the same price. (i think you can get it for under a hundred sterling nowadays) hope that helps... i'll be happy to answer any specific questions if i'm around.
