The Best Computer For Your DAW Home Recording Studio | Print |  E-mail

The first, and main component of the DAW (digital audio workstation) home recording studio is a computer.

You have two format choices, Mac or PC.  If you choose a Mac, only Apple makes them so the choice is easy.  If you choose a PC, there are dozens of different companies. 

I recommend going with a PC because most people you meet will be using a PC.  If you wanted to share anything (sounds, sequences, etc.) with someone, there's a better chance you'll be able too.

If you decide on a PC, I recommend going with Dell.  I can't speak for other Dell computer owners, but for myself personally, I've owned over 20 Dell computers over the past seven years and have never had a problem with any of them.  I sold several of them a few years back and they're still all running strong.

Note - Your only restriction here is that a few DAW software titles only work with a Mac.  So if you decide to use one of these software titles, you must choose a Mac as your computer.
