All,

I need a new DAW for my music studio, and I wonder which processor should I look for.

Since I don't have a big budget, I tend to get an Amd one, for example an A8/9/10; however I read that an Intel I7 would perform better.

Basically I need that BiaB run fast by generating the (Realtracks) Audio tracks. I would also like to record midi or audio with no noticeable latency. The same for using VST instruments.

What are the bottlenecks of a DAW ? Does the the processor play the most important role ?

I have a keyboard (Fantom G8) with an integrated audio card. It can be connected via USB to a DAW, which will 'see' it as an internal audio card.
Could this avoid the risk of latency by recording ?

If i go for an Solid State Disk (SSD) as the main Hard-disk, do I get a speed boost by generating the audio tracks in Biab ?

To summarize: how should I build up the DAW in order to avoid latency and maximize the performances in the ?

Thanks for your attention,
Sergio
