hello! can anyone help me wire a small home studio..? if you guide me through it online on msn please add me zarimusic@hotmail.co m thank u

Um- Um- It would be fun for me to brag about my computer here but I will put my ego aside. The choice of computer: Well I am a Mac user and the Mac vs PC debate is a totally different arguemment (both PC and Mac have their strengths and weaknesses). Tell me Mr. Donley, will a 5400rpm Hard-drive preform better than a SATA? Why is Ram important? How much does the operating system come into play? You see folks- and by now you've seen my posts on his other video's, I stand on a soap-box preaching education. An education either by reading on your own or by going to school. These videos are NOT an alternate to either.

How to Choose a Computer for Your Home Recording Studio

Hi! I‘m Tad Donley and I’m speaking in behalf of Expert Village. I got a couple of keyboards over here which helps and also the, I have a Dell Precision 650. It is a dual xeon 2.8 megahertz processor, it has got two gigs of memory and it can handle big operations. You do not need that for Nuendo. You can get something smaller than that. Do not get me wrong, but make sure you get something that handles, that handles this pretty fast, so it makes it easier for whatever applications you are using, ProTools, Nuendo whatever using, but that little beauty is great, it is powerful, it is fast, that is important.
