mike....and for any new user reading this.

i agree with matt.
music production is a lot of math work being done by a music app.
so when comparing processors for music production look at the processors performance stats. also single thread performance is important...i recommend a 3000 score.

the main problem being people often load up on resource hungry plugins and orchestral libraries etc
so some pc's just cant keep up....

the other issue is microsecond latency.
...see my useing a pc tip in tips forum...first tip and a link to save me retyping.as well as a link to a utility that tests suitability of a pc for music production.
bottom line...before purchase...and my local friendly pc store lets me do this...i test the pc re microsecond latency...lower the better.
my new music pc has very low microsecond latency stat.

bottom line is... if someone wants an easier life doing music production on a pc...pc choice is very important as well as how its set up.
eg here my new ryzen pc boots into win from power on in just a few seconds and same stat for booting up bb and rb...
with new bb 2024 generation feature...track generation is practically instantaneous.

anyhoo mike read my tips for furthef info before buying any new pc.
note your current pc has a low single thread score.

in closing mike you dont have to spend large on a new pc...
my carefully selected new pc cost only a few hundred bucks.
rb reports it can do over 200 tracks !!
do you anticpate useing ever big resource needy plugins in songs ??...
therein lies the rub.

happiness.
