Hey all. I cant say I know a lot about computers for audio recording, but I dont have a large budget at all. I was looking at a Dell laptop that was $600 and a few towers around $350-$400, but I was wondering just how cheap I can go and still get by?
I dont need a system thats super powerful and upgraded and capable of running the most complex programs, I just need basically the bare minimum that wont make my recording process terrible. I came across Barebone systems and have seen people here say they use em, I only had my doubts because of how small the units are, but if they are capable I have no problem gettin em.
I should mention I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and all that. The computer we were using took a dump and was old anyways. We are spending on acoustic treatment, mic, preamp, monitors, and all that too so its important that I find the bare minimum that will work for now till we can start upgrading equipment peice by peice. Any input would be appreciated.
