Paris has been an awesome system. I intend to continue working with it, but
I'm considering an ITB solution to use in addition to Paris. I've got some
jack to throw at a new computer, but not top dollar -I'm thinking maybe
800.00. I haven't checked out a barebones system or what it would cost to
roll my own, but Dell is selling a system that includes an Athlon 64 X2 dual
core 4400+. 1 gig of ram. 250gig sata drive. (I'd get a separate audio
drive.) Anyhoo, I know there's lots of if ands and buts, but, any thoughts
on what kind of real world track counts are possible? Or alternatively, I'm
trying to run about five soft synths, ten tracks with loops (a la Acid) and
16 - 20 audio tracks --so probably at least 10 compressors, a couple of
verbs of the auxs, and eq on all at least 24 tracks. I'd rather not have to
"freeze" anything. Is this even approachable with a dual core athlon, or in
this price range?
Thanks!
