Hello Boys,
Been away for a stent tending to life's other duties. I have been around here for a while and learned a lot from many of you guys. I am kicking around getting a new Computer based setup and need some advice.
Right now I run an ADAT that is lightpiped into my PC via the infamous ADAT Edit PCR card (Which believe it or not has worked flawlessly for me). Once each track is recorded, it all gets dumped to my 733 Mhz Pent III 256 mb ram, Windos ME, for editing and mixing with Vegas Audio. I use a POD 2.0 for geetars, and a Sansamp for Bass. ACID for Drums.
I want to get rid of the ADAT, buy a new PC and do it all with PC only. I have come to like Vegas, and don't mind keeping that around if it will work. What do I need to get rolling here. I am a 1 man band, but sometimes, roecord acoustic using 2-3 signals and vocals.
PC Recommendations (Can I just go store bought, while paying attention to things like RAM, MHZ, Drive speed, etc?)
Cards?
Mixers?
I am basically, a weekend warrior, but would like to achieve a least the quality I have now in a direct setup?
I figured I would ask those that use. I know there are tons of opinions.
Cheers,
Fangar
