Title: Which Computer?
Post by: Grazie on October 26, 2005, 10:00:00 AM

I have used a Mac for several years. Unfortunately I need to buy a pc in order to run Adobe Audition, as it will not run on Macintosh. With this in mind I want a cheap a pc as possible with the capability to run Audition. The minimum system requirements for Audition are:

-- 400 MHz or faster processor (1 GHz or faster processor recommended)
-- Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, Me, or 98SE
-- 64 MB of RAM (256 MB or more recommended)
-- 55 MB of available hard-disk space (500 MB recommended for installing optional audio clips)
-- 800 x 600 color display (1024 x 768 display recommended)
-- Stereo sound card (multitrack sound card recommended)
-- CD-ROM drive
-- Speakers or headphones (recommended)
Additional requirements for the Multichannel Encoder:
-- For Multichannel WMA import: Windows XP
-- For surround preview: DirectX 8 and a multichannel sound card and DirectSound driver

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Grazie

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately Adobe Audition is a music editing tool which is better than anything Mac have to offer, so I have no choice but to buy a cheap(?) pc.

If you intend to do serious music editing, you won't get by with a "cheap" PC. Go to local shop and have them to build one that will meet or exceed your specs.
