Hi Jg
I took that from the Muppets show.!!
UGAWOGA!!
I do want to edit the Genos on the computer and that really does not use hardly any recources.
I now have the Arturia synth collection and a few other vst synths Including Sampletank 3 and Syntronik.
All of that uses quite a bit of ram and recources from the computer when multi-tracking in a daw such as Sonar Platinum.
Also you have a lot of effects that uses up more .
I got this computer with a lot of headroom for future proofing up to six to eight years.
My now defunct early I7's motherboard and graphics card was not updatable any more and a lot of other things in the devices column, not updatable.
Last week the computer went KAPUT!!. Even a defibrillator could not get It going again.
So things start to slow up and with an operating system like Win 10, It is only a matter of time before It acts like a ZX Spectrum
.
When the new computer arrives, i want to start making electronic music like Jarre, Camel, Bo Hannsson, Ozric Tenacles, Oldfield, a hybrid of those type of influences.
That Is my ultimate goal, but practicing and playing without engineering a song is most important to me.
I hope that is a good explanation.
Another thing that can slow you up Is things like Norton Anti-virus and Malware programs ,but they are necessary If you download or update vst's and Daw's
I only use a music computer to do the necessary downloading. I have another computer for general Internet use.
I do not play out and I am home studio based.
Over time I think in my view is you get what you pay for and i do not want to fiddle about inside electrical equipment as I would get my fingers burnt.
I cannot thank Maarten enough as I had the drives around the wrong way when I Ifilled in the spec.
Fancy having a Ferrari on Skeeter wheels. I think in my terms It means trolley wheels from Tesco!!
All the best
John
