Are you going to store JUST BIAB files (very Small) on this system? Or are you going to also use this system to record audio tracks, and also run RealBand, Much Much larger file sizes. The rendering of files takes longer on slower processors, but performance of the basic operations of BIAB are not effected much, even regeneration of the song tracks seems to be the same on different speed machines. The Drag and Drop feature especially the master track, saving files as .wav also takes sometime.

If you are going to use this system to run RB or any other DAW you may want to consider a larger external HD. You can test all of the RB operational issues by using the PG music supplied USB drive. Install the program to run entirely from the USB drive (option 1) There is space on that drive for a bunch of data files BIAB and RB.

Do you plan to attach a audio interface for Audio recording?

Well, the SSD are here... bought 2 Sandisk SSD Plus, one is 120 GB, the other is 240 GB, for some experimentation purposes. R&D department, would say.

I hurry home set it up and think. I am going to KILL with BIAB and RB. My old laptop with win 7 64 bit with an i3 and 4 GB ram running BIAB Everything 2015 is just as fast at rendering files and generating. Much to my disappointment.


You're not giving actual speeds but see my thread:

http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=357765#Post357765

Four seconds to open Biab, four seconds to generate five Real Tracks. You have a 6th gen i7 and 24 gigs Ram. The only difference is my SSD is 256 gigs. That could be the reason you're not seeing a big inprovement, I installed all 98 gigs from the PG hard drive onto my SSD. I suspect that drastically speeded up the generation times. Maybe you should clone your SSD and pop in a bigger one.
