Long story short I’m going to be building a PC to use for performing. I browsed through some of the threads semi-related to this topic but couldn’t really get the info I needed from those, probably because I’m still not as tech-savvy as I’d like to be. Which benchmark(s) should I be focused on in de…

[image] joshb: I’d definitely be interested to hear why you went so heavy on RAM instead of opting for an i7-12700k and 32 gb memory. I understand your question because in my case, being a guitarist, and although I occasionally trig virtual instruments and sometimes some sample-based instrume…

[image] kevinf: The Knifonium will do the same for some patches, but the Oberheim seems to have more such patches. It’s probably related to the built-in effects in the stock patch I would guess I can’t speak to Oberheim, but I have Knifonium and have noticed similar spikes CPU usage on certai…

[image] joshb: Can I ask why you went with 64 gb of RAM? For my audio use case 64gb RAM is pretty significant overkill. I do like to use large sample libraries from time to time, particularly if I’m loading up a couple different Superior Drummer kits that can get to 4 or 5 GB without trying …

[image] kevinf: One thing that occurs to me is Waves Audio just the other day launched their new set of “real time” DSP servers. You might want to ferret out the machine specs on those—could make a good model to start from for your own design? These Waves machines run the gamut in terms of pr…

[image] brandon: dedicated devices for processing their plugins That’s why I suggested looking at Waves’ latest DSP server specs because no matter how they have the OS set up, and no matter which degree of performance you consider; they’re all still MOSTLY running the same Waves VST code, and…

[image] kevinf: Characterizing something as “apples to oranges” intends to dismiss my suggestion as unserious on the face of it. easy there… don’t read so much criticism into my thoughts. I do think its a good idea as a reference, I certainly did ferret out their machine specs out of interes…

Based on the original question of the thread, my impression is the user was looking for off the shelf parts that he could throw together, install an OS, and make music. That he mentioned, “the threads I did find on this topic were a little over my head” reinforces that to me. So with the hope of t…

Whoa guys! At the risk of getting flamed and roasted, I personally did not think either of your posts or replies as being rudely critical or personal - until the last couple of them. I have yet to encounter anyone in this forum that is truly incorrigible and out to ding others here. In my old job on…

Hey people, calm down :slight_smile: All’s good, proceed with other suggestions to this topic. Thank you :beers:

Come on guys, conflicting opinions are not attacks. You’re musicians and music is supposed to soften the spirit. Look at what’s going on in the world and where some person’s misplaced pride leads. Come on, I’m counting on a virtual handshake between you and we’ll switch to something else. :pray:
