Fast Processor, Lots of RAM

When you are using a computer to produce audio or video, it’s good to have a fast processor and lots of RAM in your computer. This way the computer will be able to handle all the processing and memory storage more quickly and easily.

If you have an extremely wimpy computer (slow processor and very little RAM), it will take much longer to process your audio files and there’s an increasing chance that your computer will become overwhelmed and fail (freezing, crashing, etc.).

Obviously I’m generalizing but these are good ideas to keep in mind when you’re preparing to buy a new computer.

Over the years I’ve always bought the strongest computer I could buy. In processing time alone it has probably saved me hundreds of hours over the years.

BTW, doesn’t the title of this post remind you of what Barry sometimes says on my show – “…big mouth, lotta teeth.”
