Wot is yor DAW? (was: RE: OK, I Give Up)

[random variate]

All interesting information. Agreed, SSD is a must. I put one in to a limping Dell dual core XP laptop and it ran Cubase 5 32bit easily - albeit as a sequencing platform only. No VST. And mixing was OTB.

I run Cubase 7 64bit and all applications off SSD, with audio libraries on separate spinning HDs.

I can't see much future need for more than the i5 4760k and 16gb of RAM... Unless there are new VSTs due to be released that are so powerful as to need even more realtime processing power and RAM.

We're already at highest of hi-fidelity digital sound production no?

What could the next VST or digital sound technology leap be?

Feels like I’ve said this before here, but SSD’s are A Must. I upgraded my previous PC after 4 or 5 years of use with a new SSD. It got 2 more years of use. The numbers might be slightly off in any direction, can’t really remember exactly, but the difference was huge. Felt like a completely new machine. The Windows XP load progress indicator went around 12 times while booting with a standard HD, and only 2 times with an SSD. Amazing difference, really.

My current DAW is a 2013 27” iMac quad core i7, 3,5 GHz, 24GB and 256 GB SSD drive. Logic and some Live. FireFace 800 as audio interface. I miss the 2 screen configuration I’ve always had with PC’s though...

Cheers,

        Kim
