Suggestions for new computer please

[YvesD]

I want to build a new computer for my setup. I need a desktop, not laptop, and there arn't many sujjestions out there. I definatly need it to work with Midifighter 3D, F1, S8. And I want it ready for Ableton, if I ever feel the urge

Presently I have an Asus motherboard with an i3 and 4g ram and it seems when I plug the 3D and use a complex mapping I get skipping sounds... I'm pretty sure it's a conflict of some sort. The LOAD meter on Traktor is way below 50%...

Anyways any help would be appreciated.

Which Traktor mapping for MF 3D you're having issues with?

Are those issues happening with both S8 audio interface and built in computer sound card?

Tried to reinstall Traktor?

Questions for new computer = hardware question.


=> moving thread.

Thanks trekki and sorry.

Stewe: This whole story started when I got the Twister a few weeks ago. I worked on the problem with a tech from DTT. I even got so obessed as to re install everything. Windows and all. I keep this computer soley for Traktor so nothing else on it. The tech decided we needed to try a different unit so I asked him if instead of sending the Twister he could send the 3D... I was thinking it might have a simpler 'internal workings' AND I was also thinkng it would serve my needs more. My last conversation with the tech was him saying I must have a hardware conflict and he was ready to refund me. BUT that is not what I want. I want to get to the bottom of this. Plus I need another computer at work so this is the right time for me to switch.

So now my need is to know if anyone has experience with a good Desktop solution that works with my hardware.

Oh, but if you have ideas about why I'm having problems... I'm still willing to try and figure it out...

Oh, almost forgot.. Yes I did try it with only the computer sound card and it did not solve the problem. Thank you

I think its more conflict than hardware. It wouldn't hurt to replace the i3 with an i5 and increase your ram to 8GB (I'd recommend 8 as default anyways). Before building a whole new rig, look up your MB model, see what slot it is, and look to replace the processor and add RAM, but I think you are having more tech issues than power issues.

I've had a generic Dell PC and one i built myself with an AMD Athlon X4 and Asrock motherboard and neither had any problems supporting all of my hardware.

I'm thinking the same. It looks more like some kind of freak coinicidental conflict... And if that fonflict has anything to do with the motherboard adding mem and new CPU won't do a thing.

That is why I was hoping someone would be able tell what he has that works in the desktop category.

Thanks DJ Double You...

What model num is the Asrock?
