for Peter Rabbit

Gotta love humour! Good one Steve.

I'm not sure about the differences in the two systems, but it seems twice as expensive as what Peter Rabbit posted?

Nutty, seriously they both look like some very nice kit.

Speaking very much as an amateur who writes/records for fun, my PC is used as a DAW, as opposed to being put together as a DAW. As such, I have to make compromises all the time between family internet PC and recording studio!

One day though!

PS - just saw your post go in Alkie - if we didn't laugh, we'd cry!!

hey steve is JP your favorite group

The marketing worries me a bit.
The base model is not what is shown in the benchmark. They indicate that the test was run with a $1,699 option.
The base model ships with XP Pro(32bit) and 4Gb RAM.
True, the 8 core CPU is capable, but by the time you have this thing fully dressed, it weighs in at around $6,000.
My wife would strangle me in my sleep if I dropped that kind of money on a computer.

hey steve sounds good loved the lead part only problem i had was the vocals you need a singer but over all i liked the guitar playing .also listened to caroline and liked that but the start kind of reminded me of stop the rock can`t stop the rock song. listen to me criticizing i should just shut up now before they start calling me SIMON anyway bottom line is i liked it don`t ever stop playin metal it`s good for the soul.

LOL - I shall inform my great pal SidStrummerUK that his vocals suck!!

Mind you he did record them suffering with a nasty cold while singing into a £1 karaoke machine mic [our condenser was undergoing repairs] in my front room!!!

Caroline is a bit of ancient history [1973] Quo that I've recently revived [Sid and I have been jamming it for well over 25 years] and this was the first 'test' mix to see if the guitars sounded authentic before moving on to a full arrangement.

Metal is good for the soul my friend - at my age, the exercise is good too!

i didn`t say he sucked just not to my liking of a halford vocal track LOL were are stars in our own minds. didn`t know caroline was a QUO song but then i never really listened to them ,when i left scotland at the ripe age of ten in 1976 my influenses became behind the times as in canada it took about 5 years for the top british stuff to get here and i can say around 13 is when i got into JP, Iron Maiden,Samson & OZZY.

Samson vocalist 'Bruce Bruce' left the band to front Iron Maiden [after Paul Di'Anno left] under his real name - Bruce Dickinson.

Sadly, to reveal my age, I saw both Samson and Iron Maiden at the 1980 Reading Festival!

Feels more like the 1908 Reading Festival now though

anyway isn`t it past your bedtime lol.

No - us old farts can handle the late nights just like when we were young - just a bit slower!

Anyway, let me ..................... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

well GAMBLERSCHOICE i think a 3 year warranty helps on the parts and labour costs,and as i`ve seen over my years people who settle for the CHEVY always wish they had the CADILLAC.

I'm with you Albert. I never buy the bleeding edge stuff. Too expensive when you can wait about a year or two and have it for 1/2 the price because something else is bleeding edge by then!

Sorry for the late post. I periodically check into the forum but not everyday unless I'm expecting a response to a post or just kicking back.

That does appear to be quite a machine. However, as mentioned, it's over twice the price I paid for mine. (Yup, I already ordered it and it's being built at this very moment.)

The company I went with was ADK. I could have upgraded to a more powerful unit with them also but of course the price continues to increase with each upgrade. The model of system I bought from them is really for home recording entusiasts which is exactly what I am. But they do have other models available that range from about $1,200 to over $6,000 depending on what you want to put into the unit.

I was trying to work within a budget and obtain a machine that could easily accomodate the workload that I'd be putting on it as an amatueur- shmuck-one man band kinda guy who can only record one instrument at a time anyway.

I'm sure I'll be very happy with the machine I've purchased. But I suppose if price were not part of the equation I'd go for the biggest and fastest one available even if I didn't really need all that power.

Thanks for the post though. It never hurts to keep an eye on what's out there and it's also fun to dream.
