Cheers everyone, this is my first post to the Sneap forums. What a good wealth of information you guys have here! I frequent the HC forums, but it was lacking good recording info.
I have a couple questions. I will be purchasing a new computer from www.cyberpowersystem.com soon. It will be 1GB RAM (for now), 3.2 P4, dual hard drives, the whole deal. I plan on using it for recording (which I'm new to), photoshop, and other word processing tasks.
I'm an avid internet user, I go to many forums for information. I was told it's best to have a dedicated recording machine, minus internet for recording. I would love to do this and get a cheap laptop for internet, mp3s, etc, but that's $$$. If I use this machine for internet, I would obviously start to avoid shady sites, not download useless crap, etc. Do you dudes think this would be an OK idea?? Meaning as long as I have a good antivirus and firewall?? Or should I stick to my original plan, get a cheap laptop, use that for the net??
I plan on getting a Presonus Firebox as my first recording interface. Any help, advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
