Question by Stupified: making music on computer versus hardware 8 track?
I am contemplating selling my zoom mrs 802 to switch to making music on my computer. After previous abortive attempts my friend has interested me in using Magix to do my recording. I am getting a quite high end pc (been told to avoid usb interface in favour of analog pre-amp). Benefits will be greater ability to use samples and experiment with different beats after I have recorded the main track. Downside is getting system set up properly.

heres a link to a song recorded on my zoom mrs-802

Answer by hamster
I prefer the one on Magix but that’s just my personal taste. Pretty good. I’ve been having a bit of a play around with Magix and haven’t quite managed to get my synth to work without just sounding like white noise, so, so far its just their loops.
I am well new at the music making thing.
I’m having a go with Ableton (demo ) as well. I don’t want to make too much of an investment in software yet, as I’m not sure I am that good.

You have an ability to write songs though, so good luck.

Wow, are you going to be running many monitors? Because two GTX 580s are overkill for one monitor.

If your using one monitor, save yourself money and have one GTX 580 I would say.

The power supply may be able to do it. Corsair is amazing, so it should.

4TB worth of hard drives? wow that is a lot.

Seagate is the best of the best.

Is Expensive PC Hardware Always Best

Article by li baocai

Expensive computer components are not always the best for you and your PC system. True, these over hyped and overpriced hardware, especially the latest ones, offer extra power, a slew of features and more modern technology. But if you are only using them to perform functions that lower-priced solutions can easily do, they are no better than the latter. In fact, these high-priced computer hardware become impractical and wasteful.

When shopping for computer components and hardware, do not give too much weight on the price tag. Instead, pay more attention to the value that the product can give you. Can you get more out of it than a cheaper alternative? Do you need all of the touted features?

In many cases, a mid-priced computer with decent hardware can easily fulfill all of our computing needs. The stay-at-home housewife who only touches the computer to shop on eBay and chat with friends, or the college student who only uses his computer to write school reports, will not need a quad-core processor, RAID, or SLI video cards. These expensive computer components will not bring value to a machine that is only being used to perform basic computing functions.

Indeed, a budget computer may not be faster, powerful or more efficient than one with costly, high-end components. In the hands — and to the eyes — of the average user, however, these two disparate machines perform at the same level and yield the same results.

Leave it up to the professional computer guy to tap the maximum potential of expensive computer hardware. If you only use your computer for office applications, you do not need expensive, high-end components. You will not make much use of them if you had some at any rate. A computer system with decent and affordable hardware will work perfectly fine for you and help you build up your savings!

Question by : Computer problems -hardware related?
computer completely went a few months back, where it would not even power up. So i went and bought a new mobo and eventually got it to this stage. Its now booting up and making noise but the screen is completely black. Ive tried different RAM, tested my PS, reset the CMOS, tried different monitors. Could it be the hard drive, as no light is flickering at all for it but instead is steady.
not having any beeps at all, its just the usual noise, processor fan is going and the dvd drive is working as normal.

bought the exact same mobo as i had brought the old one with me at the time… different make though.
unplugged hard drive and booted without it, screen is still black

A computer will happily boot up to the BIOS screen without any hard drive connected. Disconnect the hard drive. If you still see nothing on the monitor then it wasn’t the hard drive causing your problem.

To take advantage of the latest technology?

Sure, a game like Battlefield 3 can be run on older hardware, but you won’t get the same experience as when you run it on newer, more powerful hardware. Just look at it on console; the 360 and PS3 can run it, but it looks horrendous compared to PC.

Get The Best Computer Hardware

Article by Janet Case

When you stumble upon any sort of computer systems, you want to be sure that it’s good stuff. Many merely look nice, but is not worth your money. If you have to do a little research on them first, so be it. But it’s simply not wise to buy it first then regret it afterwards. If you are trying to build a whole computer device for your own use, you need to be sure that you have the ideal of hardware. It would be a shame to get started on using cheap stuff, only to get someplace important to get it all pack up right in front of you. There is computer hardware and there is computer hardware. The kind which you decide to work with is what will detect whether the project you are doing is going to get accomplished right, or not at all. It is best to shop around for the best you possibly can find.

There is a lot you can learn from about computer hardware from a computer specialist. It does not take a lot, just a single simple chat with the neighborhood computer man and you can be versed enough to get just what you need for your home.

Do not let yourself be fooled into buying just any computer hardware you set your eyes on. Some are of superior quality to others, so you want to make sure you have the best.

Computers are only as good as you can make them; never better. If you get the worst of hardware to put together a system, you can build a system only just so good. For that reason, you need to seek out the best; otherwise you would make a mess of it. There are pitfalls and red flags either way you choose to go, especially with computer hardware. You need to know what they are so that you can navigate around them as you make your purchases. Totally why you must learn about them, I’d say.

The hardware of a computer are the working parts – the parts that you see. Just as there are knockoffs of everything good, there are knockoffs for computer hardware as well. I like to take my time seeking out the best that I can lay my hands upon.

What is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Getting computer hardware is not too difficult, but it is only easy when you know what you are looking for. You need to know a little something about them, or your attempt at building a system would be futile.

Hardware T&L is unfortunately hardware related. You could try to find some software emulation to run the game, but the game would have major performance problems when running with that kind of emulation.
