Buddy of mine just got a new computer: AMD 64 dual-core processor, 2GB RAM,
500GB HDD. He's wondering about what audio software might work. Reaper
looks like it has a write for Vista. Has anyone tried Reaper under Vista,
and if so, how is it running?
THanks,
MR

Hey Chris,
Thank you very much for the reply. Man, I hadn't considered the driver and
plug in issue. This fella has a couple of P4 machines. I don't think his
projects will get over eight tracks, so we should be good to go.
Take care!

HI Mike,
If he's gonna have so few tracks in a project then I'd say use the older
P4 machine with XP. He should be able to get allot more than eight
tracks with effects. I would looks at the M-Audio Delta series cards.
Reaper works really well on slower machines. If he has no outboard mixer
and need mic pres then I would get a TI chipset firewire card and pick
up one of the boxes from Presonus, Focusrite TC Electronic or M-Audio. I
would only get the smaller I/O units (8 channels or under) they will use
less resources.
