Due to the latest advances made in computer software and hardware, now it is achievable to prepare an audio recording studio entirely almost on a PC. Many modern PC’s are quick enough to manage with twenty four audio tracks along with extra plug-ins for dynamics and effects. It is a feasible idea to own a PC only dedicated to audio or/and music production.
Here are few important points that should be considered while buying a computer for music/audio recording
RAM and Hard Disk Size
Audio data requires loads of drive space, thus always get the hard drive with maximum space. A hard drive with 300GB is quite common now, and 500GB hard drive is available as well for extra space. Make sure that your main board is capable of handling the proposed range - therefore you should ensure this first. In addition, you can connect two hard disks within one computer as well.
Likewise, the music software applications require a lot of space, especially while you are exercising specific kinds of plug-ins effects, including reverb, thus get the RAMN with maximum space. Now the benchmark size is 2GB RAM. Some may require a bigger RAM of 4GB, but for that make sure you have a 64 bit system.
While expanding your computer this way (memory wise), an essential factor to consider is the power supply or PSU. If the computer was made on a fix price budget, you might discover that the original power supply struggles to manage with the extra power supply, which you have recently included and this consequently may result in hard to isolate and strange faults. Buying highest quality and the largest PSU is a good idea, as this will allow you to store as much data as you want without facing any power supply fault. PSU of poor quality might cause issues such as earth leaks, ripple and brownouts, which may mess up your efforts.
You most probably will not require an extremely large unit, with two disks with 2GBb RAM, you must get 550-650W unit. Bigger unit like 750W is also acceptable but will be of no benefit, since a PC may use only a substantial amount of power of about 500W
Back-Up Facilities
It is a nice idea to incorporate a large external hard-drive, preferably 300GB or additional and ideally, fire-wire connected in order to back up the recording projects. This will further enable to free-up the valuable space from your PC’s hard drive.
