Build mah comp00t3r machine!1one

Yar.

I'm saving every little bit of cash I can right now so I can get myself a halfway decent machine to write and record on. Right now I'm using my stupid little Compaq, 704MB of RAM, 2.00GHz processor.

I use FL Studio 7 as my DAW, but I would most likely try to learn Cubase or something on my new machine, since I'll be recording vocals. What interface would be good for recording vocals? Mbox? And a suggested condenser mic?

One of my friends suggested a quadcore processor, since recording is a lot of multitasking stuff. Would this be a good idea?

I'd be running a midi controller, a few synth plugins like Nexus, Vanguard, z3ta+, etc., DKFH, my PODx3, and the interface. What system specs would be good for this?

I'd like to (if possible) keep all of this under $1000. Possible?

I suck at this game..who wants to move this to Recording?

not possible for under a grand. i'd say a firebox or fire pod would be a good interface to the computer. cubase comes with it. the computer itself should have lots of good ram, i'd say go 4 gigs for fun. decent dual core 3.0.

How much over a grand wouldst it be, then?

FortePenance · 05-05-2008, 12:18 AM

can't be THAT much over a grand. My friend has some crazy computer with a quad-core processor and top-notch graphics card, cost him about 1200.

Last summer I built a dual-core box with 2G of RAM, a badass video card, a good two-channel recording sound card, a quality case, a solid power supply, and proper cooling for $600. It's more than possible.

I'd go with a Focusrite Saffire or a Firepod for the interface. I can either post a decent build here (with Newegg parts) or we can work through PM, whatever you want.

We can pull it off for $1000-$1200, depending on how much you want to spend and what you need out of the box.

Yeah, $500 in stuff (processor and ram) is a quite "loose" figure for upgrades to your existing computer.
