I just stuck that video in this forum.
Sorry, but that is not necessarily true. Yeah, better than a 2002 PC, but configurations of newer PC's do not necessarily mean that it will be awesome. As my previous post will show. And this was a $2000 build that should have worked. It didn't because of a issue with USB controller and chipset or graphics card not communicating efficiantly. And many had issues with manufacturer built systems as well. Oddly, Steinberg has taken over two years working to find the issue. They still haven't. Ugh for others that do not have the desire to change their mobo.

I am curious though, is there a Windows 10 OEM? I am sticking with W 7 till It explodes...Windows 10 scares me as I have heard the auto updates can screw with software. I can't afford to have things suddenly not work while I am working on a project.

Again, just for claritys sake, I was referring to pure speed. Pinky suggested you would need "processing power" to run effects, instruments etc. and I just wanted to put things in perspective. My current recording PC is in fact from 2004, and is MUCH faster than is really needed to handle 20+ tracks. The CPU in my desktop PC is from 2012, mid-level, and is 2 to 10+ times* faster than that recording PC. Anything from 2017? Definitely fast enough.
Your blanket, anecdotal statement(s) are incorrect. Doubling down on them doesn't make it any more 'right'. If you simply said "most" or "many" you would at least be in the ballpark.
We're all here to exchange info and learn. But you have to be open to learning. I can teach you if you actually want to know [I'm a professional in the IT industry], but it sounds like you're more interested in making and defending your *point*.
I did refer to "most" or "many". I would be VERY surprised if you would be able to find a NEW, desktop computer that was not capable of most if not all "home recording". There are tablets and smartphones, and maybe laptops that are too low-spec, but desktops? No.
As an aside:

at that sampling rate, you will need a lot of drive throughput on the project drive.Does this look like a machine that could handle recording and mixing at 192/24? Any issues that you may know of with IRQ's, etc.?

Thank you
Someone really needs to create a site that benchmarks computers for audio recording...
You're assuming everyone uses what you use on their home recording computers. I recently had a complex project tax my very robust, albeit older, i7 desktop. It was using about 80% of available CPU and that was after freezing a couple tracks. It all has to do with *what* someone is doing, not merely a matter of what hardware they're running. I could bring my desktop to its knees if I wanted, by careful selection/management of plugins and overall workflow I don't.
I'm not talking down to you. Correction tends to come across like that, no matter how its made. I've given up trying to correct people with smilies.
So do you want to know more about this topic or are you still just worried about how we perceive you?
This place is for learning and communicating to each other what we know and have hopes to learn from others.
I see nothing 'hostile' here.
Just discussion. Please leave inflammatory misrepresentation to the ones best at it like the news.
This place is for learning and communicating to each other what we know and have hopes to learn from others. Not a place to argue or banter. We sometimes come off in the wrong way. So just chill and realize that another members comment can be taken wrong. Especially in text format. Hell, I have had silly arguments with my wife via text because the point wasn't clear...
Cool?
I end mine with a smiley because I like to smile.
Hey dood, just want to give you a shout out. Your video got my PC doing as it used to. First test failed bad. Recommendations, update the usb drivers. After updating and doing the second test, PC was running at blazing speeds without a single pop or click! Thanks man!
It means that you should have no problem hearing/monitoring or recording with added pops and clicks added into the mix.
