I'm planning on assembling a new computer, and being rather ignorant on the subject, I'm going to need a lot of advice as to what components and parts I should go for.
First of, I'm running Cubase SE3 and will mainly be recording 1 or 2 tracks simultaneously - however, I would like to have the opportunity to record several tracks at once, should the need arise.
I don't wish to feel restricted when it comes to the number of channels I'm able to work with, and typically I use a quite a few plugins.
Naturally, I also want the computer to be fairly quiet.
I don't need advise on monitor, mouse, keyboard and other peripherals - that's already sorted.
As far as budget is concerned, I'm a little unsure, but let's try and keep under 1000$.
By the way, the system must be based around a shuttle (those neat little cabinets/boxes) and is to be used with a Motu Ultralite.
As stated earlier, I'm fairly ignorant on the subject, so please use simple terms and explain your recommendations. Go ahead, spend my money!
thanks
