Hey folks,
Looking to build an audio production rig for around £1000-1200, the one below clocks in at just over £1200. So, I'm looking to be using large instrument libraries such as Spitfire through Kontact. Total tracks will likely sit between 25-50 (not all using Kontact) for compositional work. Moderate use of audio processing through plugins too.
I'll also be using audio middleware programs such as FMOD & Wwise and doing light work in game engines like Unity (audio focused).
It would be nice if it could also run some games too, but in all honestly I'm happier with mid to high graphics, 1080p, stable 60 fps. My steam library mostly consists of older Total War titles like Attila, Shogun 2. Would be lovely if this could handle some newer titles on lower settlings but it's not a deal breaker.
How does this rig hold up for those tasks? To reiterate, I don't want this to be blowing socks off graphically or handling 100 piece orchestras. Hoping to land a mid-entry machine. Or perhaps there are some parts I could probably downgrade a little and save some £££? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
