..I am having my computer built. PC ASUA MB MOBO 8 gig RAM2.50 ghz 4mb cache Western Digital Caviar 500gig with probably a solid state 2 gig HD for Operating system. Please--can anyone answer:
Firewire or PCI-e
Internal or external?
What DAW software (ie SONAR, etc) would be best for at least 4 tracks?
I have heard internals like the 1010 LT is subject to moise from the CPU et al Can anyone help me please-while a newb to computer recording, I am a musician (x 35 years) and have a moderate understanding of computers. Just don't want to screw it up as the computer is being custum built. I have looked at MAC but found the laptop sufficent to do what I need to be too pricey and it would rule out upgrades in the future as I am ordring a large ATX case with 4 fans. (another source of moise I understand...) Please forgive the generic question but I get really nervous putting out this kind of money and cannot decide between Cubase, M-audio, Sonar, and the like. I have some non-linear editting experiencing with video in a past lifetime as a videographer.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...Thank you and God Bless!!
