Simon. re cpu rateings. my 5000 minimum recommend.

normally i agree with you on lots of studio topics, but on this topic i respectfully disagree.
for the following reasons.
for someone brand new to recording and daw work it gives them a false sense of security.
"oh boy i can just use my aunties old hand me down pc , and all will be good".
"ooh , what are plug ins ? " "think i'll add a few" or "think i'll add my friends orchestral sample lib".
and suddenly things start going "pear shaped". see what i mean ?
when i was buying computers for industry, the same thing would happen.
we would be assured by vendors a certain low end piece of hardware would work , but reality was problems ensued in day to day operation after a while.

then end users would get on the backs of the IT staff.
the problem being end users wanted a low end hardware price, but also wanted high end performance. wasnt going to happen.

you can see in recording forum after recording forum the problem useing low end pc hardware.
in summary, little leeway for "growth" as the new user wants to use more and more features.
frankly simon, when a great nice refurb with a powerfull processor , lots of ram, and ssd's can be had for paltry sums now, its a doddle compared to years past.
loads of refurbs for a few hundred buks.
best.
