Probably not the best place to ask this question, but easier then finding and signing up at a new forum just to ask one question. I am sure somebody here will know.
I am a musician who does a lot of demo recording on the computer. My current computer is not able to handle large multi-track sessions (i.e 12+ tracks imported into a single multi-track session). It skips and freezes when I have too many tracks it has to read simultaneously. I am pretty clueless when it comes computer tech stuff. My question is...on my next computer purchase...what kind of specs am I going to have to look for that would be ideal for multi-track recording/mixing? I am not sure what kind of specs would be responsible for that kind of performance. Memory? GHZ? Other?
