Build an Audio Production Computer for Under $1,500

In this video, Michael Babbitt shows you how to build your own high-end PC for audio production purposes. Michael has been building PC's for over a decade as a means to producing electronic music and sound design, professionally.

This video will guide you in building a PC from select high-quality parts. It assumes you have at least one, 250 GB SSD for the operating system. All other hard drives, GPU (graphics card), and audio/MIDI interfaces are up to the discretion of the end user.

While most Intel-based motherboards come with a built-in GPU, some audio apps require more graphics processing, depending on the demands of the user interface. For example, Vienna MIR will need a gaming GPU for optimal results.

There are many other factors we couldn't cover in this video, such as optimizing Windows 10, or which types of hard drives or SSD's work best for different types of tasks. We'll cover these in other videos so please subscribe to stay informed!
