Advice on Digital Recording Studio

[kulprit]

I am looking to start a home digital recording studio. I have a computer: 300Mhz, 32 MB SDram and I dont even know what the sound card is.. Is this computer good enough to run a recording programme??
If so ( or if not ) what else ( sound card and mixer ) do you recomend that I get to record your basic band instruments ie. Bass, Guitar, drums. I would like the capability to record a couple of instruments at the same time although it is not a neccesity. And I would probably try to get by with a drum machine opposed to a live kit.


Thanx in anticipation!!!!!!!

You can possibly do some things - but you will be very limited. The slowest comp I recorded on was several years ago (and that was a 450 w/ 128mb RAM). You almost certainly wont be able to record multiple tracks at once and applying effects will take forever. Additionally - your soundcard might not be full duplex.

My suggestion - get a new computer (or some other recording device).

You need a brand new computer.

You could probably work with maybe 8 16/44.1 tracks and one or two effects with that current rig if you dig up an old copy of n-Track or something......but really you're pretty limited and it would be frustrating work.

There is really nothing that you can upgrade to improve the situation much. You need at a minimum a new motherboard, a new processor, new memory, a new power supply, and perhaps a new case and most likely a new hard drive....and we haven't even started talking about soundcards yet
