  1. 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
  2. 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!
  3. 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!
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
