Fuck yes!!!!! What are you getting and does it have a million gigs of ram lol
Eee 64gb of ram so look out kontakt! bit of a jump from the 16gb in the old one lol.
Going for the 9700x. Don't need gfx thankfully. mb just entry level gigabyte eagle ice. Nothing crazy.
Also have to get a new audio interface as the old RME one is legacy PCI and I think that kicked the bucket too :( Tempted to try and swap out a few caps and try a PCIe -> PCI adapter but honestly I have no idea what I'm doing there.
9700x with 64gb is unstoppable lol
You had an internal PCI? I've never seen one in the wild.
The saffire claret is a really decent interface. Beats out the standard saffire by miles if you don't mind focusrite. But admittedly RME are absolute beasts.
I'm the same with graphics card I think it's a super old 2070 but I don't game on PC so no great loss considering how expensive new cards are these days.
Ooh that does look like a good interface. Heard good things about focusrite's drivers too.
Yea it was an old RME 9632, so stable (and took a bit of the wine I spilt lol, kept working though). I will miss it if I can't give it life again.
I'm starting to look at the Scarlett 4i4, SSL 2+ mkII or the MOTU M4. The MOTU does have pretty levels leds on the front heh. Bit of a step down from the RME but practicially probably doesn't matter.
The ssl looks awesome from the reviews I've read (was looking to upgrade front my saffire).
I think it has some hardware DSP as well which is handy.
