VirtualMark's PC Buying Guide For Retards


1) Decide what software you will be running. In your case, it will be FL Studio.

2) Find out the system requirements for said software. This can either be on the box it came in, or on "the internet". For this example, i used the search engine "Google" and found that the system requirements for FL Studio are:

2Ghz AMD or Intel Pentium 3 compatible CPU with full SSE1 support.
Windows 7, Vista, XP & 2000 (32 & 64 Bit)
(or) Intel Mac with Boot Camp (running XP, Vista or Windows 7, 32 or 64 Bit)
1 Gb or more RAM recommended
1 Gb free disk space
Soundcard with DirectSound drivers. ASIO/ASIO2 compatible required for audio recording (FL Studio installs with generic ASIO4ALL drivers)

3) Purchase a PC that meets or exceeds those system requirements. From this example, we can see that almost any PC built in the past decade can run FL Studio. :roll:


After performing another "Google search", i have also found the following system requirements:

Reason
Windows XP SP2, Vista or Windows 7
Processor: Intel P4 / AMD Athlon XP or better
Memory: 512 MB RAM minimum, 1 GB recommended
Screen resolution: 1024x768
2 GB free hard disk space
DVD reader
16-bit windows compatible audio card, preferably with DirectX or ASIO drivers

Cubase
Windows 7*
Intel or AMD dual core CPU
2 GB RAM
Display resolution of 1280 x 800 recommended
Windows compatible audio hardware (ASIO compatible audio hardware recommended for low-latency performance)
8 GB of free HD space
DVD-ROM dual-layer drive

Ableton
2 GHz Pentium® 4 or Celeron® compatible CPU or faster (multicore CPU recommended)
2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended on Windows Vista and Windows 7)
Windows XP (home or Pro), Windows Vista or Windows 7
sound card (ASIO driver support recommended)
DVD-ROM drive

From the above, we can see that FL Studio will run fine on any PC with enough power to run Cubase, Ableton or Reason. So please stop your whining, this only took a few seconds to find out.

It's all good, it's just when we give you info, we're trying to help you learn. Not spoonfeed you the answers. You know? Give a man a fish and all that. We were all noobs at one point, but we learned why this is good, instead of just this and that is good (at least most of us).

But even when your rather lame question is answered a few times, you still want someone to hold your hand all the way to the shop. I'm sure you will go far as a producer with that sort of attitude. :4:

I dont need anyone to gide me to the shop.READ MY QUESTION AGAIN.IM LOOKING FOR A STRONG LAPTOP CUZ I WANNA WORK WITH A lot of PLUGINS AND THEY TAKE A Lot of cpU.AND PLEASE DONT JUDGE MY ALTITUDE.YOU DONT EVEN KNOW ME;FORUMS ARE FOR QUESTIONS...AND ALL THE OTHER THREADS ARE FROM 2009 and older ANd they just speak about processor and other shit that has nothing to do with "searching a laptop for music production" so stfu,
Awesome use of capitalization there sir. Also I am pretty sure that he doesn't care about your altitude, as how high up you are probably has no bearing on his opinion of you. Also, a good processor "and other shit" has everything to do with a laptop for music production.

As to your question, http://www.dell.com/uk/p/xps-l702x/fs something like these will work fine.

You also cannot expect people to react well when they provide you with specs and you dont go looking yourself, you produce electronic music and therefore must have at least a basic understanding of computers. Demanding things on a plate is frustrating for people who've given you enough information and you do nothing with it.

and for 1800 is ridiculous amounts on a production laptop, 1800 euros gets you a top end gaming machine, not a laptop to run FL studio on.....
thank you for your post and my answer is ,im not planing on using it just for fl studio and ableton i wanna be able to run virtual dj with it ,,,and a midi controller ,,,,and also for production im using 4 midi controllers ,and to do master of m songs.im planning on basicly using it for everything,,im signing for a big talent show.and im planing on making a 6 minute song with huge transitions and stuff,,and plus im gonna turn some effects live,and play synths,,.and thats why im posting this STUFF everywhere..but thanks for your answer ,,i already bought a 3xs laptop from scan.co.uk and i think its gonna be pretty good,,

Yeah i like the look of those 3xs systems, they're built specifically for audio. I suggested them on the first page, was no need for this big long thread really. Anyhow, hope they're good, remember you need to buy an audio interface with them as they don't come with onboard sound.

For the record, most people here also like to make songs and use lots of plugins! That's pretty much what we all do.

UpnDown: you're overthinking things WAY too much... you can literally go to Best Buy, grab any laptop or desktop on the market right now (not netbook) and you're good to go as far as FL 10 is concerned... if you aren't running Pro Tools HD I don't understand what the problem is... You mention FL having glitchy popping sounds, perhaps you never looked into the preferences and raised your buffering rate? Truth is, as far as your production goes you're not going to see ANY noticeable difference between and ASUS mobo and a ACER mobo.

Good luck! I'm actually quite interested in seeing if you can do any better than Eatbass... :roll:
