I use my laptop for home recording and it isn't cutting the mustard at this point. Since I don't have the money to buy a new one, I am hoping to make a few updgrades to my existing notebook. Can someone recommend a couple of hardware upgrades that will give me the biggest jump in recording capability (RAM, storage, etc)? I am also having latency issues at the moment. Like I said, I am on a budget so any advice is appreciated.
I will be multi-track recording with the TASCAM FW-1082 Audio/MIDI Interface and Control Surface. I currently use N-Track Studio but will probably transition to Cubase. At most I will be recording 3 tracks simultaneously (approx 20 tracks per song) -VST plugin will be used for drums (N-Track Drums / DK). Any effects on the tracks will done within the software program.
Here is my laptop setup:
1.4 Ghz Centrino Pentium M
512MB RAM
40GB Hard Drive (4200 rpm) ; buffer 8MB
XP Professional SP2
I also need to put firewire in it to run the Tascam.
Thanks,
R
