Here are tips to improve the reliability of your computer for use as a recording studio for your music.

Working with Audio can place a high demand on your computer’s capabilities – from the CPU to storage and memory.Below are some tips that will increase the performance of your computer and make it less prone to crashes when you are recording or editing your music.

Preparation:

Before you install recording software check the following.CPU speed and memory-

Most modern computers that are only a couple of years old will have a processor that is equal to or exceeding the minimum CPU speed your editing software requires but it is still worth checking – particularly if you have machine that is earlier than this (be aware that processor speed, along with memory will determine how many tracks of audio you can record and the number of effects you can have running simultaneously.

The same goes for required RAM (most good recording programs state a minimum of 512 megabytes) More is better- a gigabyte or higher (in fact increasing the memory of your computer can compensate for a slower processor to some degree and is probably the cheapest way to add more speed to your machine).

Storage space –

In most cases you will have enough storage on your operating system hard drive to install the software and related effects – what I’m referring to is a second drive dedicated to storing your songs and all the files they are created from.

Thanks to the invention of beat making software, making this techno beats no longer requires such expensive and large instruments. Instead, all can be done with a good beat maker that comprises a big bank of “loops” that are short musical clips that you can easily drag and drop into your working tracks and mix and blend them to your liking.

The software offers a lot of editing functions that you can use to tweak the loop; stretching the loop to a desired length, shrinking it, change the tempo, control volumes, add other instruments effect like piano, bass guitar, drum beat, combos etc. and a lot other functions that allow endless possibility to create totally new and unique techno beats.
