Pragi Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Hello everyone, I have to build a new machine because of the crash of my PC in December. I require a silent box that can handle up to 75 tracks per project without requiring heavy vst synth loads (2 at a time). Recording a maximum of 4 tracks in real time. . The audio interface is a RME Raydat. Do the RME Raydat and the Asus Tuf motherboard have compatibility ? Do you have any suggestions or recommendations? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Just about to build my first DAW, im going pc based and would just like a bit of help as to what sort of components to use. ie are certain motherboards, CPU's and RAM better for DAW's than others? i heard intel motherboards were the way to go. im computer savvy so building it isnt an issue, just need the advice Thanx Hi, My build is based on the configuration above. There are a few points worth mentioning. -If you're constructing a DAW with a good video card, the Be Quiet 550 power adapter may not be sufficiently powerful. -To obtain a Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) lightning port, a Thunderbolt card is necessary. In essence, the AMD Ryzen Processor is excellent. I like to get an Intel processor because the AMD path (DDR 4 RAM and other ports ) is not future-oriented, but I'm uncertain about that. Your system will also determine which audio interface you want. Jim Roseberry's recommendation seems to be a good option because he frequently provides excellent tips when he is available.

hockeyjx Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 For your specs, I'd say to go a little higher on the power supply. I don't think they cost that much more and it just makes life easier should you add a video card. I'd say 64GB of memory. If that isn't possible, just get 2 16GBs now, and 2 later. NO on win11 HOME. Home additions are much more restrictive. Get PRO! Also, do you have current generation nvme drives? They are cheap and give you plenty of overhead.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pragi Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 (edited) @ HockeyJX the power supply has been upgraded to 650 watts,. I neglected to inform you that I will receive a 500 GB NVMe drive. My old box contains 2 1TB Samsungs, one for samples and the other for songs/projects which I want to build in the new box . I appreciate your recommendations.

Glenn Stanton Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 someone mentioned a PCI-e x16 riser card where you could install dual m.2 drives, so if looking to create RAID or simply expand storage maybe look for that as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Yes I just did my own build and used two 1 TB m2 drives one is OS and other is working drive. I pulled my 2 SSD drives from old machine and put those in so everything important was now in new machine. Those are then back up drives. Definitely W11 pro. I bought it from PC world for $80. It was only $15 more than Home. RAM is cheap. Go for 64GB. Edited January 23 by John Vere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pragi Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 (edited) It's time! At the last week I finally had all the parts together and put the computer together. Most of the software has been installed by me in the last two days and now it's time conducting initial sound checks and checking latency, etc. So far, the computer's speed and quietness have made me extremely happy (no background noise). The RME Raydat began working seamlessly as soon as it was placed in the correct PCIE slot. @John The small version of Windows 11 Home Edition has been working out wonderfully for me, especially since it takes up less storage space. I appreciate your suggestions regardless. The 32 GB of RAM seems to be sufficient for my computer. I want to express my gratitude to everyone for their valuable tips.😄 Edited February 13 by Pragi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
