Audio Production

The processor is the most important part of your PC. The higher the price, the faster the processor. We recommend getting the best processor your budget will allow. This will give you a faster PC which remains up-to-date for longer. Our base default processor is the i5 12400 and it will easily handle general home & office functions such as web browsing & word processing, as well as moderately demanding audio production software etc. For heavier PC use and more resource-intensive programs, consider upgrading according to your budget.

16GB of memory will handle home & office functions, but the rule is simple: the more the better. Opting for extra RAM is an inexpensive change that will make a big difference. We find Kingston to be the best brand for RAM.

Your processor (CPU) already has native in-built UHD graphics capabilities. So, for general use such as internet browsing and high-definition video viewing you don't need a graphics card. You can even experience 4K resolutions thanks to the native CPU graphics if your monitor supports it. However, we do offer a few graphics card options powered by Nvidia if you plan to use graphics-intensive programs relating to video edition, animation, 3D design or gaming. Note that if you want a PC fine-tuned for gaming, you should be on our gaming PC page! If you want to get the best graphics performance you can, get the best graphics card you can afford.

These days most media is loaded via USB or download, so a DVD player/burner is not part of our base model. If you need it, add an excellent  24x DVD burner. If you want your PC to be a full-service entertainment centre, add a high quality BluRay burner (6x BDR; 8x DVDR). We use Asus, Pioneer and LG for our optical drives.

Choose between sleek black and clean white for your Audio Production PC. We have chosen the Cooler Master Silencio S400 Sound-Dampened Steel Case. This case design is not only stylish but practical & designed especially for audio production. The solid steel construction with added sound dampening material ensures quiet for your audio recording.

Choosing an appropriate power supply for your Audio Production PC is made easy at this step. Our base default Cooler Master 550w power supply will run any of the PC combinations made with this PC builder. However, it is a good idea to give yourself some headroom with the power supply, depending on the complexity of the PC you are making. Just work off a sliding scale from an entry-level PC all the way to a 'best-of-everything' PC. The more involved your PC is, the more power it will consume and therefore the greater the power supply wattage we recommend in order to run it comfortably.

All our power supply options meet the 80 Plus standard. For you technically-minded people out there - the 80 PLUS® performance specification requires power supplies to be 80% or greater energy efficient at 10, 20, 50 and 100% of rated load with a true power factor of 0.9 or greater. In layman's terms - they're officially certified as far more efficient than typical power supplies.
