Studio Computer? Options

[Qenzoz]

'Ello, I am currently in the process of maybe starting to build my own little studio, but I want to make my PC really great for it. So I was wondering what are the things I need to focus on? I will get an SSD sooner or later, but besides that what really matters in a PC to make it great for studio use?

Cheers & thanks in advance.

If you're willing to go with a Mac, a Mac Mini is $600 and almost EXACTLY the same specs as an iMac. I use one for recording and haven't had any issues except with RAM (But I only have 1GB, though you can have up to 8GB in the Mac Mini).

Very good point!

Also - good thing with Mac route is that it allows you to install Windows natively (so you get both Mac OSX and Win on same machine) so you can work in your favorite DAW.

I have a dual boot on my Mac and it works great.

BINGO!! You can run windows, Mac OS, Linux, whatever you want. This way you get the best of all worlds in one box. I'm using PARELLES to run windows when needed on my Quad Core 27 inch iMac. It's a great machine for music/video work. I"m using it more often than my quad core Mac tower these days. It runes quieter and cooler.

If you want to run LOGIC as your DAW, you'll need to consider a Mac, but if you are loooking at REAPER or PRO TOOLS then PC will do ya!
