PC Recommendation

[Razorback_Rob]

Do you have moniter mouse etc?

I would still go for a full atx, doesn't need to be huge but is a little cheaper.

Definately Intel i5 as others have said, at least 4gb, with an external card like the cakewalk above.





Most most most important, is a decent pair of speakers and sub, I am not talking about an off the shelf set, but a proper hifi setup go give you a good range of sound. A good set of studio moniters are the best start.

Have a look at behringer krk or m-audio speakers, they are all good options

Speakers are a definite. Try get one with a built in eq so you can set it flat when playing the mix back to set the track qe through a flat band speaker set up. But also a decent set if monitoring headphones is a must when music mixing seen people mixing through ear buds saying it's incredible and then playing back later and the bass response being awful.

Laptop is also a great idea so are solid state drives. I've used my macbook with a traditional disc drive keeping click for my drummer while playing pre recorded intros etc and it's lagged from vibrations on stage and through off timing for our drummer. Luckily he ripped out his earpiece and carried on naturally listening to the monitor. Not saying that this will be anything you will need but the r/w speeds are definitely worth it.
