I'm looking down the road of home recording and have wondered about the noise coming from one's computer (fan, disk access chittering, etc.). I would not call my old computer's fan loud, but it's audible and when you shut it off and the room goes silent, you realize just how audible it was.
For this reason, I'm wondering what I should do about this once I start recording. I guess options are to put the computer case in some kind of noise-blocking cabinet (however, issues with heat or the pro ones are ridiculously expensive) or just use a new fanless/silent computer.
How do you guys deal with this? I want to have the option at least to record very quiet things, like single notes on acoustic guitar, with as little noise as possible (and my room can get near-silent otherwise).
It seems like a fanless computer with an SSD should be silent and would be the way to go. Thoughts?
