brand new member, guys.
not a computer pro. about to build my first! very specific application. here's the problem:
yes, i game a bit...but i'm a pro audio guy. i make music. in researching hardware i see that the comp universe revloves around graphics, and gamers....not audio
i want to build the baddest platform i can for an audio workstation. for those who might not know, in audio we use numerous audio plug-ins called vsts which--running simultaneously--can place enormous strains on a processor.
current set up is a 2.21G AMD Athlon 64 3400+, with 2G of RAM and about 1 tera storage.
not too shabby.
advice on what processor might be geared toward audio, instead of video? should i just opt for the baddest motherboard out there? what is it; dual opteron?
like i said, i think i could build a pc but as far as floating operations widgets and parallel processing squishers, etc., i'm clueless. i'll take any advice out there on where i should start. (especially motherboards/ chipsets; AMD/Intel; and what the best processor is)
i need you guys!!!
