That's another one for perfectly timed video topics, sheesh. I just switched from my Mac to a beefy PC with the help of your previous videos, and from Logic back to Fl Studio in the process. Was an intimidating jump, but the upgrade options were a big deal for me as well. Now I need to manage my storage organization and there's you coming out with a video on that, thank you. For some mf reason the store I got the PC from only had pre installed Windows 11.. like damn slow down, it's hardly released yet and is a free update from Windows 10 for anyone who wants to 👁️👄👁️
Nice setup. I've watched a good number of different DAW rigs and which computer components are used but, I have not heard anyone mention so far, that they use a battery backup. I would think that would be one of the essential pieces of gear that would be mentioned. Newer UPSs are even better than before offering pure sinewave output while on battery power and also offer voltage regulation to some extent. All of which extends the life of your electronics, not to mention your sanity.
It is surprising how rare they are in studios. I live in central Florida and we get thunderstorms every single day so I loose power for a few seconds at least a few times a month.
Uhm... I literally went on youtube bc I want a new PC for my productions and I just wanted to check some of your production videos first. AND THAT IS WHAT I FOUND hahaha i love your stuff and every single video :)
@@riderout007 Built a custom one with an i5 10400F, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080 Ti and 32gb ram. You can do all stuff with Cubase and it also runs every game I own smoothly
The glyph produces a noticeable fan sound so dont get it if you want a silent studio. You can turn it off while recording vocals but still very annoying to have to do that.
Just to let you know SSDs are NOT for designed for long time archival storage. Spinning drives are better for that. SSDs can lose data if disconnected from power for a long period of time. You would be better to store sessions on external spinners and SSDs for your sound libraries. I recommend Amazon S3 for cloud storage. You just pay for the space that you use.
when you have proper cooling and you are a full time musician, SSDs do their job better than a HDDs in Terms of long-term usage, but i would agree that you should have an HDD as an extra backup and easier recovery process. Not really sure if Cloud storage is the way to go. Seems kinda unsafe but maybe you can educate me on that one. Seems like a good Idea.
@@thunderstein5041 SSDs have a finite life....usually measured in TBW (terabytes written). When they fail, they cannot be recovered. It is best to store archival stuff on HDDs that are offline and then access them every year or two and rewrite the contents. Cloud storage is the safest option for critical files.
@@TonyThomas10000 HDDs have also finite life, so i don´t know how your argument would work. as an example: 1 SSD with 1TB storage space(from Samsung for example) with 3,000 write cycles can have a warranty up to 10 years, under heavy usage maybe 8 but until a SSD loses storage cells (which an SSD can replace itself with the reserve capacities which SSDs can have onboard) you are probably going to replace your hardware after 10 years, at least as an full-time Studio Musician. SDDs are fairly new but Technology moves fast and so does Optimization Software. Even if you don´t replace it, with proper care, which should be done for both types, you will be in good hands. I´m not saying, have your backups only on SSDs. Keep at least 1 or 2 external HDDs as Backup storage but SDDs can definitely carry their own weight. Also, you can ABSOLUTELY Recover Data from failed SSDs. How is cloud storage THE safest?
@@thunderstein5041 It all depends on use: TBW. Cloud storage has data redundancy. Check out Amazon S3. Watch Colt Capperune's video: I Lost EVERYTHING… (studio hard drive crash)
does the usb-c on the motherboard support thunderbolt? or do you need some type of expansion to the motherboard? the usb-c connection was specified as a usb 3.2 gen 2x2 type c on the asus website. im wondering if that could be compatible with a thunderbolt 3 as i am using a older gen apollo with thunderbolt 2 with the apple thunderbolt 3 adapter. im trying to find a prebuilt pc that i could game on and use my apollo on too.
thanks for your advice! I started about a month ago and your content has been very helpful and im loving the poptopia serum skin are any new serum presets planned with a new custom serum skin? the blue one is fire!
Hey that's great for you. I don't understand how this is relevant, but great for you. I too could sit here and talk about how I have a server grade machine, with a dual socket CPU, tons and tons of cores, Terabytes of RAM, and Petabytes of storage in a RAID array, etc... but that doesn't help anyone. How about instead of trying to flex, you provide a recommended upgrade instead, and a reason for that upgrade. In this instance, his computer is purpose built and has the ability to be upgraded later on. Why would he need to spend more on it if he has no use for it at this time? Hell, the only thing I would recommend is a NAS for local archiving of finished projects.
Ok so I'm buying an Ibuypower, but I'm looking for pc parts that'll make the pc run smoother and faster because l'm going to make music and do gaming aswell. Also I'm buying an Apollo twin for my interface which requires thunderbolt. How should I build this pc? What parts should I buy?
Hey bro i wanted to ask what audio interface do you use ? I’m using an Apollo thunderbolt twin . And I recently installed a gpu and larger psu and it changed the sound quality I still don’t know if is the power supply or the gpu but even with the gpu disconnected from the power I have that same issue even with on board sound cuz I use an addon thunderbolt card . Now I’m planning to upgrade and thinking about getting a motherboard with thunderbolt ports on board and see if that problem keeps happening.
Hello! May I ask which G Skill RAM are those exactly? My local shop suggested to get CL16 Corsair Vengeance to go with my 10900k instead (he said it because it has more stable cas latency) than of my initial wanted GSkill RAM with CAS Latency of 14.
Looks great! I'm surprised you didn't go for a 4K monitor considering the increased support for HiDpi! (I was hoping this would be the year your YT Channel would go 4K!) - Anyway, peace and happy new year!
No need for a 4K monitor. I’ve found they cause more issues than it’s worth (different GUIs look badddd in 4K). We can film and edit in 4K, but it takes way more time and space on the computer for no reason.
At that price point I would have picked an M1 Max Mac Studio with 64gb ram and 2To internal SSD (3450€). But I don't know how stable Cubase would be on this system
Hahaha. I am just in the worst position. I do a little bit of music production and a lot of Video editing and Visual Effects. So I need a good cpu and a good graphics card. I don't wanted to upgrade but now is worse. But I have to upgrade sooner or later. But great video. Appreciate your tutorials. Because of you I do music production more often.
How are your external session SSDs connected? Doesn't this affect speed? I can't think of any external connection that would be faster than an M.2 slot on the motherboard.
If your libraries are mainly one-shots like kicks, snares etc. it doesn't make a huge difference. However, if you use lots of large Kontakt instruments like orchestral samples, I'd recommend SSDs, as it will not only reduce your load times, but the ability to do disk streaming means that you can run more tracks in parallel without running into RAM limitations as early. This is because you don't have to load the entire sample into memory, but only the beginning, with the SSD being fast enough to load the rest of the required sample "on the fly". Really makes a huge difference for large multisampled libraries.
I switched to Mac 10myears ago. I always found windows just hated usb devices and audio in general. Making aggregate devices and hot pluging in hardware during a session has saved me a bunch of hassle.
I’ve always just leaned towards Intel processors. And I’ve seen some plugins work better on Intel than AMD. I’ve heard of people having lockups with AMD systems and Intel felt tried and true. Budget wasn’t an issue.
I build an audio computer back in 2019, finished in 2020. Bought part after part due to a carefully selected setup, very expensive. 64 GB RAM at 3200 MHz, i7 8700K up to 5.0 GHz overclocked. It works so well that I don’t look after more, and my projects are very heavy many times.
