[QUOTE="Michael Evans, post: 6551, member: 3081"] Good Morning from sunny Melbourne, Australia Rather than clog up the X32 Discussion thread that I am an avid reader, I thought I would be best to start a new one asking for suggestions. I am new to the Behringer X32 and hence the whole digital domain and I am learning lots. I work with a couple of bands and do amateur theatre work and by no means am making a living out of this work. Anyway, I want to explore the whole recording side of things from the X32 and this in itself is a whole new world to me. I intend to buy a dedicated laptop/workstation to use for this purpose. My questions are as follows:- Am I better to use the Firewire connection or USB from the desk to the DAW I was intending to start off with Reaper as the price point is great to get into it. The hardware requirements are not definative on their web site and I want to get this at least 90% as I am purchasing new hardware To record the bands for example I generally am using 24 - 26 channels that I take into 8 groups for the final stereo mix. I am guessing I am best to at least try and record live the 24 - 26 channels as individual, if that is not going to be possible then at worst take my 8 groups and record those. I am thinking something like an i7 processor, 8 gig of RAM, as much hard disk space as I can afford Now depending on the question above about Firewire or USB, I am obviously going to need a port to get the audio into the box Anything else I need to consider ?
