info for background lurkers.

time and again the biggest problem ive seen over the years is that the biggest mistake people setting up a project studio make is not assessing their needs PRIOR TO buying the pc.
thus they often run into problems...for example trying to do a ton of tracks and resource hogging plugins on some pos underpowered pc.

ALSO...

ive come across people who have spent big money on a pc who say to me...
'but i spent over 2k on this and am haveing problem after problem....
aaaaarrrrggghhh...yet you OM spent a few hundred with no probs..'..
often of course the daw or music app software gets blamed.

the simple fact is the pc has to be very carefully selected....rather than useing any old pc often any pc might need optimising for music production use. ie the demands of music production are very different than say simple apps lots of people run.

a very important point is selecting a pc with low internal microsound latency. some pc's have big internal latency.
my new pc has one of the lowest internal latencies on the market.

for more info see my series of tips in pg tips forum re buying a pc or useing an existing pc for music production.
lots of info from the 'school of hard knocks'....lol.

happiness.
