Bigger CPU... ... which means go for Intel or AMD (to
match with your Intel or AMD chipset on the motherboard), as fast as
possible because you want to run multiple effects plug-ins and virtual
instruments and CPU plays the key role here. Faster RAM...... translates to a faster computer, faster software operation and faster streaming of audio, so... 2 Gig gets you off to a good start, 4 Gig and you start taking off. And you don't stop... ... more RAM! more RAM! Oh, and while we're at it... More Disk Space... |
More inputs and outputs...
... which depends on your motherboard and on your recording sound card or audio interface.
More inputs and outputs means you can plug in more of your beat toys and gadgets, and allows you to expand your music production computer in future (which you will!).
Yes, these are the bare bone basics, because I tend not to get too technical (yawn), and leave that for the propeller-heads. 80/20 remember?
I'm also not capable to tell you which system would be best for you as this depends on the music you wish to produce and the music software you wish to run. This is why I try to provide the basic guidelines for you.
It's up to you to research well before you spend your hard-earned money on your choice of music computer because your choices can be costly when you don't plan well.
The best sequence to set up your studio is...
First choose your music making software, then choose a compatible recording sound-card (or audio interface) and then lastly, choose your music production computer.
Oh, and one last tip...
You can get much more value and power for your money when you purchase a desktop instead of a laptop for your recording studio and desktops are also easier to fix than laptops. Get a laptop only when you really need to be mobile and make sure it's a reputable manufacturer you buy from.
