pcock Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 is this pc worth 800 quid, as im piling up pure synths together getting into this metropolis project, my pc is starting to crack under the strain, need an upgrade. here are the specs hes sent me. Alright mate, Here's the full spec: Mobo: Asus P5BE Designed for overclocking (see review here: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware..._p5b-e/15.html) CPU: Intel E6300 core 2 duo RAM: 2 x 1GB PC6400 Corsair Pro XMS overclocking memory Case & watercooling: Thermaltake Tai-Chi http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?TT-TAICHIW PSU: Tagan 480w Ultra quiet (was very expensive!) Graphics: Not sure, just a cheap PCIe card, 256MB, made by ATI Harddrives: 1 x 320gig split into 2 partitions (100gig for programs, 200 for data) + 1 x 160gig which is full of samples Powercore PCI card (has 7 or 8 standard plugins including some really nice reverbs, chorus, compression etc) (worth £200) + Virus unlimited plugin for the powercore (worth £200) http://www.access-music.de/products.php4?p...=viruspowercore CD / DVD Burner: Sony (I think) black, SATA connection Price: If you want the Belinea 19' LCD then £850 or £800 without. If you need a sound card I can throw in an M-Audio Audiophile for £20 (the motherboard has onboard sound, but as always its not that great for pro-audio applications) Have a look at some of those links & see what you think. Its a quality machine - I spent ages researching the best parts for audio work. Just checked the overclocking using Intel's TAT (thermal analysis tool) & itsd running at 2.8gHz at a cpu temp of 44 degrees centigrade. It peaks at about 55 degrees if you run it at 100% cpu useage for about 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boo Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 just as a tip for now you might want to render some parts and bring them back in as audio, if you don't already do that. also don't use vst effects on vst instruments, only on audio. sorry if this is useless information DRUNK> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adjective Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Powercore PCI card (has 7 or 8 standard plugins including some really nice reverbs, chorus, compression etc) (worth £200) not sure about that... that's a hefty chunk of change to accelerate built-in effects? i would think you comp would already handle most effects on the fly, unless you're really concerned with latency.. i don't know you may want this thread moved to EKT, you'll probably just get buried under poop threads in GB. whereas in EKT people will be looking for these sort of threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcock Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 just as a tip for now you might want to render some parts and bring them back in as audio, if you don't already do that. also don't use vst effects on vst instruments, only on audio. sorry if this is useless information DRUNK> its not that, i need all 20 odd midi staves open and ready to slam notes in on the midi stave at once, after about 15 it really slows right down. sorry about lolcation, i didnt even notice i didnt post it in the ekt forum.

Bubba69 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 also don't use vst effects on vst instruments, only on audio I like to go with the method of using effects on instruments but to mute the effects when bouncing to audio, then bring the same effects back in on the audio channel. Best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dildo Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 considering that it come with a powercore+virus VST,the price is quite good. you should try to have that m-audio for free..anyway i suggest you to get a solid audio card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
