How to Build a Recording Studio : Computer Hardware & Software for a Professional Recording Studio

[KayGee9345]

He's quite wrong. From my experience you want 2gHz (or more) processor speed, Dual to Quad Core or better. 4gb of ram or more. a few 500gb or 1Tb hard drives, one for the Operating System and software and the others for audio. Thats what is needed for a recording studio computer.

expertvillage SUCK MY DICK!!

[fruitypebbles904]

expertvillage, making dumb asses dumber by the minute!

[julius923]

... and you need at least a Terahertz of Hard drive space.

[Fassade69]

hey can anyone recommend a good motherboard to buy so I can start building a com. for my studio?

[123marijn321]

@Fassade69 the p67 sabertooth by asus is a good one,

[123marijn321]

@Fassade69 addition: i would say: buy an imac,for studio purposes its much better;)

[DenemChikn]

@123marijn321 nono dont do it. go build a pc with 2x the processing speed and 3x the ram for 1/2 the price of a mac pro desktop...

[123marijn321]

@DenemChikn i know, get the imac, the hardware is good enough en the software is 1000x better

[DenemChikn]

@123marijn321 software? are you talking about a DAW? i use ableton live 8 on my pc.. none better imo

[123marijn321]

@DenemChikn no i mean the operating system

[DenemChikn]

@123marijn321 yea i dont know anything about os x. but windows 8 comes out soon lol crossing my fingers

[123marijn321]

@DenemChikn i am also still a windows user, soon ill buy a mac

[Zackmcwize]

nah probably not comfortable befor a cam, many people are, focusing on the cam instead of what they are saying. but ok for now the demands are alot higher, and for a vid uploaded in 2007 your specs seems small even at that time, especially for a recording studio. but maybe a home user could usa a setup like that and survive, but it would have to be the minimum requirement when it comes to cpu and ram, and not whats recommended.

[ThePsychoGamer1337]

more like idiot village

[javiixJ]

Woow... I've watched like 6 videos of expertvillage.. and all sucked o_o

[prince4d]

A gigabyte processor!!! wow! Anyway, the spec u've described here is not a high configuration. Most netbooks have this configuration now a days. LOL.

[Robot0Ninja]

heres what you need.

1. 2.0 GHz processor, preferably 2.4

2. 2 gigs of ram, preferably 4.

3. 2 MB of L1 or L2 cache

4. 500 GB Hard drive

5. 4 USB ports, and with new hardware preferably USB 2.0

6. atleast 1 Firewire port.

If you dont know what fire wire is, bring your computer to bestbuy, go to the Geek squad kiosk, tell them u want a 6 pin fire wire card, preferably 800 MB p/s. make sure they install the driver too.

once you have all that, you have a decent computer ready for a home studio

[ivan89705]

right in here double you double you computer

[melmatics110]

i guess u would have to notice the video was uploaded in 2007 zellers

[dcnyc45]

I cannot believe he said alteast a gigabyte of processor!!! lmaOooooo. He has no idea what he's talking about. Now that is comedy. A large HD - 80gb lmaOo. Aww mannnn. Good stuff.

[RMoribayashi]

An audio recording tutorial with bad audio (60 & 120 cycle hum and something that sounded like a crumpled recording tape, probably really bad audio compression). Best example of irony I've seen in a while.

[tubeyessir]

If you are using MIDI or Computer recording, this is a great accessory: "Over-the-keys stand". It is available on ebay time-to-time. I could not find it anywhere else.

[32JSE]

Hahahahahaah since when cpu's had 1 gigabyte cache?

[zapzzapzzapz]

".. At least a gigabyte of processor."

Right..

[GodspeedingCar]

ha i lol'd

[trippellol]

Expert village? More like newbie village

[Reece4444]

he said at least 80

[tehrealdjcrossfire]

yo bad this was posted in 2007? lol 80 was a bit back then

[chookin1]

80 gig hard drive? my gram gram has more space!

[WAFOUTLOUD]

HAHAHAHAHA

[magicoA]

yeah i got a good comp too bad its a PC haha

[28monkeyking28]

hey everyone. i don't know where to go to ask this question. so im dropping it here now =]. please help me out. I read alot on the internet about core2duos being good for recording pcs. What about the quadcores now? Are they fitted for recording?

[dinastiamegatronica]

The more processors you have, the better it is. It depends on the software. It has to recognize multi-processing. As time goes by, more and more softwares will be available for multi processing. Cubase 4 and 5 recognizes multi-processing. I have a quadcore 3 gigs (4 processors) computer and it works perfect.

[gruponemesis]

i just built my quadcore setup running Sonar 8 Producer edition, Motu Hd 192, Motu 1296....im in heaven!!! I sold my Protools Hd1 setup 4 years ago due to financial problems...couldnt afford to get it again so I went another direction...and I tell you what...it runs bit for bit with the PT HD...

[BLSooo1]

I see a cerwin vega! looks lik a 12

[pw2bf]

this is crap!!!!.........Every1 is aware of this....

tell us something we don't know..

[Motrellik]

LOL! village expert sucks, his trying to say Gigahertz. This video tells us stuff we already know.

[Jos129]

LOL, i dont know much about PC's, i only did an IT course for a couple weeks and quit, but i know more than this guy seems to know, since when did proccessors have speeds in gigabytes?

[zelllers]

A gigabyte of processor?

wtf? are you on crack, pretending to know what you're talking about.

For one thing, processor speed is measured in hertz, or cycles/second.

You're probably talking about RAM.

(Nobody learnt anything from this)

[DenemChikn]

@zelllers even still..i gb of ram?? you need at least 4gb just to run ableton live correctly

[123marijn321]

@DenemChikn yes but this was in 2007;):P

[DenemChikn]

@123marijn321 still..my goddamn laptop from 2007 had 2gb's

[N64Guy]

O my god that was funny i almost crap myself

[hailwillis]

that was a joke you it takes a lot more than that to build a great music pc

[pw2bf]

Absolutely

[luisito9977]

hi, I like record music, so I want to know what is the best o one the best software for recording music, if you explain me in spanish is better, thks

[nirolfo]
