Hi pals
As some Scaler user know, I use just one PC that is not dedicated to make music, but is used for my job and for my hobbies
With my old PC (weaker than the current one), I realized that it lacked the RAM needed for sample-based plugins, so I preferred modeled ones
With my current PC that has more RAM and more CPU power, I started to use some sample-based like e.g. UJAMs and I got I was able to use them, as far as they are no more than 2-3
But, I also realized that many modern modeled plugins are strong CPU-suckers, YUK!
So, even if my current system is stronger in RAM & CPU, I must use all my plugins frugally, included modeled plugins that are CPU-suckers
A day or another, I must set a dedicated system, and I am starting to reason about it
Do you think that my old PC, a Dell OptiPlex 780 SFF Dual Core with 10 GB RAM (I can go up to 16), with all non-music software removed, can perform better than my current one?
As an alternative, I can also do the opposite: using the old one for Office jobs, and clean the new one to make music only…
