So would I but it's darned impossible to buy a highish powered one without a monster expensive power using heat producing graphics card and in a huge case.
Needs more heat sink. I suspect that might cause a sufficient drop in air pressure that @zedders might get trapped inside the boat if the doors open outwards.
Dirty boy. It's for real time music processing which is best served by high non-boosted all core frequency multi thread because the first overloaded thread is all it takes to cause a glitch. This one won't do that, it's twice the frequency and 6x the threads of my last one. When I say it won't glitch, I mean it'll operate at a higher quality. You can always turn up the quality enough to cause problems however well armed you are so it comes down to budget in the end.
Are you taking pre-recorded music and doing something with it, or taking something you have recorded/recording live and processing it? You aren't a secret Ibiza DJ are you?!
Some real instrument, most of it is virtual, software instruments and production effects, some of the virtual instruments are 100% software, some are real sample based. Because a sound can start as whatever comes out of the software and must them pass from one effect to another in series, it's better if you have high frequency. Because their are many such chains (10 just for drums) it's better to have multi threads all doing similar in parallel. A bit like engine building, adding cores/threads has diminishing returns after a point which is around 6 core/12 thread so I went for a 4.1 base speed 6 core/12 thread CPU that should turbo boost easily to 4.4 all core if I wanted, but I think it'll do t' job without.
Is this a bit like when the new mixing desk in Abbey Road cut out all the distortion the previous valve desk passed through for the later Beatles albums, so they sounded different? I think you should revert to a Phillips mono cassette recorder and go old school....
Of course in a couple of years/right now it will no longer be the grunt of the 6 to 64 core main CPU but the hundreds of cores in the GPU doing the work. Audio processing pipelines are made for array processors. When you look back at the Cray-1 and compare it with this ... https://www.cerebras.net/product/#chip $2 million 15 kilowatt water cooled AI neural network single chip ... You can almost certainly teach it to compose the music as well as perform it . Run that on a canal boat , you will keep warm in winter, and keep tropical fish under the hull..
It's all built but like I do with engine stuff I haven't switched it on as it's too late in the day to find it doesn't work. Tomorrow's another day.
Back in the deep 80s I used to have a zx81..those were the days..then upgrated it to c64..what an exciting times it was..then ibm stuff and somewhat I lost the interest in computer stuff hmm.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Oh yes, and you can actually BUY an effect that apes the overall sound that Abbey Road mixing desk had, with cross-talk between tracks, compression, distortion, all lovingly recreated! Luckily there are a thousand free effects and instruments too and I never get as far as mastering.
Compared to when British grannies used to knit memory for NASA...it’s impressive. But are people happier these days?!
