I want to buy a computer (only the tower) for recording?


Question Posted Monday October 31 2011, 9:55 pm

I'm helping my friend with recording and I'm looking to get a new computer tower. I'm getting it mainly for music recording, rapping specifically, and I was wondering if there were any good ones out there with sufficient memory space, etc.? I'm hoping for something on the cheaper side as well.. any suggestions or advice?
Thanks (:

From my friend Intaflex:

First, get a silent power supply, and a low-noise fan. Second, most any computer will do, you can get a tower for $500. Put at least 512 MB of ram in it, that should be about $200. That'll get your computer ready to record. You'll need a mixer, and they go for about $150. You need one with at least one XLR output, that's for the mic. Then you need a mic, I reccomend Apex. Shure is industry leading, but they cost $600. Then a mic stand, shock mount, pop filter, and XLR cable will get you your gear. Then you need software. Most people use Adobe Audition, which has a price tag, but it's what I use, and I taught myself how to use it. Very friendly. My first setup cost me $2000.


Hope this helps
