Steve;

My workhorse system is also a 450 mhz, which has Magix 5.0 ($9.99 at Guitar Center) and uses Win 98, with a sound blaster 16. People tell me that the recordings I make using that system sound outstanding. So why did I get a new system? My wife let me do it. It is her fault! :)

P.S. For one track a 450 mhz should be fine for just about anything. Sound recording is a truely subjective subject. 15 years at Ampex taught me a lot and I have been recording for over forty years with tape machines.

>>N-Track, and Magix Studio 7.0 Deluxe at this point. I have three sound cards on this puppy and one is an M-Audio Delta 44, with a Creative Labs SB Audigy with firewall, and the standard built in sound chips. I have used Cubasis VST 4.0 and it is perhaps the best software out there but what a tool to learn and remember how to use! I have some nice microphones and a good pre amp.

>>The motherboard is a 533MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) , a P IV 2.4 ghz CPU, with separate hard drives for applications and recording. I use removable trays for recording. The power supply is a special unit for recording and a super low noise fan, and a WD 80 GB 7,200 rpm HD with 8 meg buffer, which is good for multi track work. The CD is a Plextor 48X IDE CD-RW, and the system has 512 meg of memory.
