A simple question that has probably been asked a ton of times but theres no sticky as such.
My PC is struggling to cope with running reaper as soon as I get to the top end of track numbers. I typically work about 30 tracks with a reverb buss and several other plug ins on individual tracks. Some are obviously more CPU hungry than others. The tracks starts to distort/ break up during playback. At the moment I'm using a focusrite solo but plan to get the 2i2.
I was planning to get a music recording specific PC anyway and have about £500 to spend. In terms of Ram, OS, and processing type / speed, what options are crucial and any specific recommendations in that price range or thereabouts?
Cheers
Mark
