Hello there, I made this post on the Build section yesterday, but wanted to post it here as well. So my mistake if this is not permitted/well viewed!
I'm planning to do my first build. I have done hardware stuff in the past but this would be the first one from scratch. The main purpose would be for music/audio recording - I am planning to record voice, guitar, and keyboards, most definitely one at a time. I have actually never done as well but I've been into music for years so I wanna make the digital leap.
Here are my specs so far:
To extend a bit on my original post, I am thinking I should get a simple/beginner interface for my purposes. I have already checked the Confirmed Audio Interfaces (Hobbyist/Pro-sumer/Pro) & Drivers list, but I feel that given the fact that I;m not including FW on my setup, the available USB options might be more than what I need.
I would appreciate some feedback in terms of both the build itself, and if it would be a good fit for music production. I'm using the HD4000 as I have read BoomR's post on the subject. I'm also trying to stay on a budget to, say, $1100-1300.
Thank you in advance!
