Hardware

Could someone please help me with this.

I have got the following equipment:

PII233, 64MB EDO, 6 GB 7200 rpm, Hoontech
Digital XG.

Now, if I would want to record in for example
Cubase, and the use audiotracks, lets say 8-16 tracks. Is the equipment enough or will there be some problems?

You have a great system for internet and possibly midi, but its a little shy for audio recording.

You can get away with what you have. If you use your PC for other things, 6 Gig hard drive could be eaten up pretty fast. You shouldn't have any trouble getting 16 audio tracks but you want be able to save many tunes. Get a CDRW.

WS, I am curious. Have you actually recorded 16 tracks of 16bit audio on a 233 PII without a system hiccup? If you have successfully done this and processed the tracks on the computer(effects, compression), I would be interested to know. At 16bit 44.1khz that comes to 80mb per minute if each track is mono. I always experienced latency and "hiccups" when I tried it.He would use 2400mb for a 30 minute CD, in addition non-destructive editing would create numerous other wave files and if he were to try 24bit the memory allocation would really jump up there.
