  1. Jim, I have an AXE I/O, have you happened to try one? I'm wondering if you think something like that would be solid to help with transients.
  2. Latest version of CbB btw. Amplitube was also updated to the latest version.
  3. I'd get an 800W power supply to have plenty of overhead ( check out the calculator: https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator ). Depending if you are doing video or not, you could probably trim the video card down. Otherwise, looks good.
  4. I've built 2 systems over the years with AMD, and each time I regretted it. I know the Bakers work with Intel, and I've had better performance/longevity with the them. So I'm not rocking the boat on that part of the equation. Just not sure which I9 to go with.
  5. That's what I wanted feedback on. I will get an Intel I9, but I was polling out to see the best performance/price point. As mentioned, this will be an everything box, so I'd like it to be robust. But I will use more Virtual Instruments musically for sure
  6. The time is coming to build a new DAW! I'm starting to spec out what I want, and would appreciate feedback from those who have recently built one. Thanks in advance folks! Here are a few thoughts on what I want: Silence is paramount, so I'm probably going water cooled this time. Also a silent power supply. Not sure if I want to go rackmount or traditional tower, but really don't want or need a fancy case. I have a soundproofed case (Corsair I believe), and I may use that. I am going to get a 500GB NVMe OS drive with in the ballpark of Sequential IO: 3,470/3,000MB/s (that is the WD Black spec, but Samsung is in the mix). Depending on the board, I may get 2 SSDs or a 1TB NVMe for storage. WIN10 Pro The Board???? I have never have had a problem with ASUS, but am open to suggestions. It doesn't have to be THE latest, but close. I may do video editing at some point, but would disable the card for audio. Processor: Current best mix of of price and performance. Never came near maxxing out a CPU in recent years. Intel only. Memory: I am thinking 64GB to start, and expandable to 128GB from the board. What am I missing? Again, any advice is appreciated!
  7. I still haven't opened my AXE I/O :( But, there is rain in the forecast this weekend, there may be a chance it gets hooked up!
  8. I am definitely looking for a new interface, but need to know it plays well with CbB ...and that drivers will be updated like the big players in the space. I like that it appears to be a guitar-player-centric unit.
  9. I use a product called Active disk ( https://www.disk-image.com/index.html ) for the OS drive, that way I backup all of the C: drive and can restore it to any new drive within 30 minutes (I've also used this product on a few hundred machines for a standard company image). I have a RAID-1 for my data drive, and save the image there. Maybe that can help someone!
