I spent some cash. I finally upgraded my two computers. My wife and I share one, this is the one where she writes appeals and I look at porn and visit recording sites. The other computer is the music computer, you all know what that’s for. My old music computer was an AMD 450 with a FIC MB.
Here are the new specks:
PC Chips MB
AMD 2400 1.95mhz
512 ddr 2700 ram
13g 5400 HD for OS and programs
60g 7200 for music files
10g 5400 for back up
DELTA 1010lt
DELTA Audiophile
and of course cd rom, 32mb video, floppy, ect…
Loaded with WINDOWS XP.
Music programs consist of COOL EDIT PRO 2.0, Proaudio9, Frooty loops, and Gigasampler 1.6 which no longer works do to XP and vsampler.
Like I said the old comp was a 450 megahertz, oddly enough after a lot of hours of tweaking and building and experiments with mostly Cool Edit, I have found, miraculously, that it does not run nearly as fast or as fluent as I projected.
Example, 16 tracks, 32 bit, 48000 sample rate, all effects locked except for the 2 busses that each have 5 tracks assigned to them, it took me hours and I mean hours to get this fucking song to play all the way though without break up or choppiness. I assumed that at the speeds and ram I’m running, it would blow right the fuck though any sample rate and amount of effects I had up. IN FACT, I find this computer set up to be maybe 20% more efficient then my old 450. FUSTRATING!
I know I must be doing something wrong, what could that be?
