Computer recommendations for 2408 mk3 with expansions
Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 11:14 am
Getting ready to setup a live recording/multi-track cueing station.
Plans are for one PCI or PCIe(?) 2408 mk3, and up to three 24 i/o expansion units. analog in/outs are going to a Soundcraft Spirit 8 bus 48 channel board (already in place). Timecode audio/video sync to mediashout on a separate computer station (already in place), a stand alone dvd player, and lighting control through MIDI (Lighting controller already in place).
I am alway a fan of overkill when it comes to hardware.. A lot fewer headaches when everything is being used to the limit.
Can anyone give me a recommendation for pc computer specs/best windows op system to fit the bill?
Best part is, I get to run it!
thanks in advance
