| ___________________________________________________ [Jul 9,2007 7:14pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] hahahahhahaha. I know, I know. I don't have much of a choice. I have to choose the least gay case with a door on it. |
| ___________________________________________________ [Jul 9,2007 7:16pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I think I'm ordering this shit tonight. I was looking up shit about getting faster memory (PC2-8500 instead of PC2-6400). The memory I choose is supposedly able to overclock pretty well. It has great timings too. From the little research I did on the subject, it looks as though buying PC2-6400 for this system is more of a thing for people who REALLY want to work some serious overclocking magic. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 9,2007 10:13pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Just ordered 13 components. Chances are at least 1 of them will be defective. I wonder which it will be. It was the motherboard during my last major build 3 years ago. |

| _____________________________________________________ [Jul 10,2007 12:49am - ArrowHead is watching you ""] Looks like a good setup. That video card is awesome, i wish I'd waited for the price drop and got one of those, although I've yet to have any real issues with the 7950. However, a few years from now, I'll probably regret it. Did you order a card reader for your camera cards? The 3.5 all in ones are like $10. |

Cakewalk Sonar on an 800mhz pentium with 128 megs of ram. Unless you are running a lot of soft synths or plugins, audio doesn't exactly tax even the most basic of systems these days. Video is a different story. But unless you are getting paid and have time deadlines.. set that shit to encode and go to bed! |

I dunno, I've got a 1.2 gig system, and running Acid 5 with full drum tracks fucks my PC in the bum-bum. Yeah, this guy is full of crap. Most likely, he's not running much for plug-ins or multiple tracks. On a system of that size, I would most likely be able to load a basic mix with the drums bounced to a single stereo track, and a handful of plugins. And we won't even talk about trying to record drum tracks simultaneously without the audio engine crashing. This thread was never about recording audio, but if you're going to be running something like sonar and doing any sort of serious work with it, I'd reccomend AT LEAST a pentium 4 with 1 gig of memory. |

| _____________________________________________________ [Jul 10,2007 12:05pm - ArrowHead is watching you ""] weawef said:Unless you are running a lot of soft synths or plugins, a lot? With the specs you posted, you would not be able to run even a single small synth. As for tracking without one, it's do-able. However, your system would never be able to handle recording a full drumkit, let alone putting together a drum stem with effects. Henceforth, either you lie, or you make shitty albums and recordings. Either way, your opinions in this thread are officially disqualified. Funniest part, your posts had nothing to do with the subject at hand in the first place. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 10,2007 12:22pm - weawef ""] Soft Synths are for homos. I recorded 8 tracks live and played back as many as 16 without problems(I never needed more). Running waves plugins, eqs, limiters comps etc. Using windowsME and 2000. I've been recording for 10+ years now, and just because you need some bloated ass over priced computer to post dumb shit on a messageboard, doesn't mean someone else can't do something. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 10,2007 12:24pm - weawef ""] Also: In 2000, there really weren't all that many softsynths. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 10,2007 1:19pm - ArrowHead is watching you ""] SO again, you miss my entire point. If you don't use a synth/sampler for drums, you gotta get em somewhere. You're telling me with 128mb of memory you had no problem at all loading up 8+ drumtracks for a full song, and running those nice expensive waves plugins running on every track? As I said, you're full of shit, or you make poopy recordings. To do the job right, you need more than 128MB of memory. Period. And as for building a big expensive computer to post dumb shit on message boards, next time read the thread before you post. You'd then clearly see we built the big fancy computers to play mindless and graphically awesome video games. My recording rig is a P4, with 1 gig of memory. Dumbass turd sniffer. |

| _____________________________________________________ [Jul 13,2007 10:38am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] My shit showed up. I have no idea when I'm going to have time to build this. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 15,2007 2:22pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I just powered this shit up. Cabling yesterday was a bitch, but I got it looking fucking nice. Should have good airflow. This case is so fucking quiet, it's great. CPU is idling at 26C which I didn't even think was possible. Only bad thing so far is that my 8pin 12V EPS power connector that goes into the motherboard (extra CPU power) is about an inch too short (my PSU is on the bottom of this case). I managed to JUST barely make it snaking under the video card (to the left of the pci-express slot) but it is impossiblie to plug my sound card in like this. I have to order an extention cable online before I can plug the sound card in. boo. |

| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 16,2007 9:00am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Link me and I'll benchmark it. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Jul 17,2007 11:51am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Cabling's pretty much done. Did some light stress testing after putting in the proper timings & voltage for my memory in the bios. Also formtted the 2 SATA drives and loaded up windows with updated chipset & graphics drivers. All I have to do now is wait for my power extention cable to show up from UPS tomorrow (so I can plug in the sound card and also run the cable behind the motherboard instead of in front). Then I can seal this bitch up. Now I'm going thorugh the hidious process of researching every setting in the bios and brushing up on some OC'ing guides. I only do this shit about once every 3 years so I always forget what the obscure settings do. |

| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 17,2007 1:25pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] really? It's all that CAS latency, RAS to CAS delay, etc shit. The lower the better. Usually the motherboard doesn't always guess what's best. My motherboard was defaulting to 5-5-5-15 speed at like 1.8 volts or something. But my memory calls for 3-4-4-15 @ 2.1volts. Faster. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 17,2007 1:38pm - ArrowHead is watching you ""] Point me to a good place to learn this stuff, because I never adjusted any of this when I threw my box together. Only stuff I've adjusted in the bios is startup settings, and disabling the onboard sound. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 17,2007 2:07pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I just spent all morning browwsing the http://www.anandtech.com forums. Let me see if I can scrounge up any of the good OC'ing articles. I don't think I specifically looked up any stuff on RAM latencies this time around. I know there's 31 different settings, but people tend to only fuck with the first 4. With this build I just got some memory with decent timings and overclocking ability and then just blindly punched the correct settings into the bios. Here's a pretty good guide nvidia put out for beginners wanting to OC motherboards based on their 680i SLI chipsets: http://www.nvidia.com/docs/CP/45121/nforce_680i_sli_overclocking.pdf Here's another guide someone put together: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.as...d=28&threadid=2057083&enterthread=y And here's another good guide someone put together for stress/stability testing: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.as...d=28&threadid=1901991&enterthread=y |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 17,2007 2:50pm - ArrowHead is watching you ""] ahhh, you're talking about overclocking. I'll read through some of it, but I'm afraid to try. I've seen a lot of threads over at the Sonar forums that OC can cause crashes. Also, I think the MSI board I have is not very good for it. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 17,2007 3:00pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I used to read the MSI boards. They were alright. Anandtech boards are pretty good though. And as long as you thoroughly stress test your system, you shouldn't see any crashes. You basically just keep turning up the proverbial dial until you start to see instability, then you turn down the dial a little to the point where you could run the fastest while still remaining stable. Through all of this you'de of course be monitoring your CPU's heat so that under full load it's not exceeding what the manufacturer suggests as a max temp. I just read through some of the more obscure bios settings for my mobo. The shit that had me scratching my head had to do with chipset voltages and multipliers. I'm not touching that stuff with a 10 foot pole. |
