@Gtrshark24 thats ssd tid bit is news to me actually could you share some more info bout why ssds are not recommended for use witha audio work?

[RonSoloMusic]

@EvanTism oh yeah man. The thing to remember with computers is that its a whole team. The processor alone isnt going to affect performance. But everything as a whole. I3 i5 or i7 cpus can all do music production. In this case, an i5 or i7 would be more ideal. But an i3 can still do the job

what kind of camera are you using?

[RonSoloMusic]

@meatz89 sorry for the late reply. the camera used in most of these vlogs is the Pentax K-R with the 18-55 kit lens.

@Gtrshark24 oh that's news to me, would you be willing to share a few more details about why it's not recommended to use an SSD with a DAW or production work?

[Gtrshark24]

SSD are highly not recommended to use for audio work, production and so forth.

@EvanTism well i invest a lot of money into my computer for this stuff. i just transitioned over to a mac set up, so i'm currently just using a 17" MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM. It's good enough to do quite a bit, until you start using some expensive VST.

[EvanTism]

oh and i was also wondering what computer your using? I'm trying to buy myself one purely for music production but my budget is tight. any recommendations? oh and i wont be getting anny Apple products. :) thanks again

[EvanTism]

@RonSoloMusic thank you.!

[EvanTism]

Sooo.. you should really have the intel core i7 processor then if you are producing music? But would the i5 do the job fine if you havent got that much money for the i7, ive only got an i3!
