So...To answer some of the questions. The power supply in the current unit is from 2009 along with the two 1 TB SATA drives, and CD and case,switches,video card, ethernet card, firewire card. Five year old motherboard and i7 intel.
I installed a clean 2 TB SSD and reimaged and took out the SADA drives back a few months ago because the system was stopping without reason. None of my current virus software can find any issue. Norton, TotalAv...
It did the same thing a couple of times yesterday. Running without issue today.
It is possible but pretty unlikely I may track a drum kit 10 or more microphones plus gates plus midi triggers.
I have in the past recorded bass, drums, guitar, keys.
My NORMAL use is me and one or two others tracking at the same time.
It is pretty rare for me to use up more than 25 tracks
As there is no longer a driver that is stable for my ProFire 2626 I am considering buying this. Nor sure, cost half the price of the computer at 1K.
I can go to 64 gigs of ram but it seems like overkill but could be useful for the minimal video stuff I do.
I will go pull the logs from yesterday.
