careful, this is not a choice to make lightly, there are major disadvantages with an ALL pc system. i would NEVER give up my outboards. 1. you never have enough processing power [no matter how much you keep adding] 2. things always have more (cross over) noise in a PC, or static [so go all digital if you can] 3. instability is a major issue PC sugestions depend on your budget. there are SOOOO many options, I can't possibly help you unless you are a bit more specific... you might want multi-HD recording, or only 2 outs, or no midi, or all midi, or digital, or soundfonts... or only mastering on the pc,... or mixing on the pc... or maybe you also want a sampler with effcts built in? or maybe you want to use protools? or maybe you want to use reaktor and reason? or maybe you want to use cakewalk? dual boot system? all scsi? The list of options goes on......... ~thinking about giving up my outboard gear to go ~all-pc. any suggestions on system specs, o.s., and/or ~software? thanks in advance. ~ ~winblad.donald.ichiro --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
