So I am about to build a new computer for music production only, good old gaming time on the computer is over, for gaming I´ll stick to a PS4, anyways DDD
I figured out 8 GB of RAM ain´t enough to handle big projects, gonna build up to 32GB first and maybe add 4 more units so I´ll end up with 64GB.
My actual question here is actually, how crucial is the CPU?
I know it shouldn´t be some 50-200€/$ trash, but how much should I really invest to make sure my bigger projects run without any issues and problems?
As you all know, the more Plugins, Instruments, etc. you use, the more ASIO usage it takes. If you cross a line, the sound starts screwing up, some effects don´t even react anymore and you´ll gonna have a super great time with your computer
You can increase the buffer size to have more free space but if your ASIO usage is at max. while having a buffer size of 2048, it´s the end of the line :S
Does it rely to the quality of the CPU or rather to the quality of the soundcard?
Do you have something else to add which could be usefull investing to increase the quality of the whole system to produce music properly? Let me know!
Thanks a lot for your answers and stuff, always appriciate your comments
