I would add the tutorials kind of skim over minimum systems requirements while going on about the $300 recording studio, as if you could hook up any computer and it would work. I found out the hard way that's not exactly true.

I don't agree with those minimal requirements, they are way to low, but he does redeem himself somewhat in the article. Also your requirements will depend on what programs you are going to use. A full blown DAW with lots of VSTis, plug-ins, and recording inputs require a lot bigger computer than if you are going to use only BiaB and RB as is. If you start using lots of VSTis and plug-ins in BiaB/RB your computer requirements increase also.

I have helped others get good computers at a reasonable price by buying refurbished computers from TigerDirect.com. Out of a number of such computers only one had a problem and Tiger Direct replaced it immediately.


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
