      Nice! Exciting times to get a new rig built. Once I sat back and thought about how many corners I was cutting when songwriting and creating, it HAD to get a new computer. In the last year I've had 4 large, important projects that all had over 100 tracks with automation, inserts, etc. and on those it's been a struggle. But not anymore!!! I've opened those projects on the new machine and it's not being push at all.

    Hi, just a couple tips, please put the pc on something hard, if you leave it on carpet you will suffocate the power supply. And for the cooling, move the fan from the top to the front of the case.

    • @ZachWirchak

    Always a heart stopper when you turn a new build on for the first time. Congrats on your new build, I literally just finished installing two Evo 870 1Tbs, graphics card and RAM in my rig this weekend. So now I run an i9-9900k, 3060ti, 64GBs DDR4, 1TB SSD for OS, DAWs, and Plugins, 1 TB SSD for prj files, samples, etc., 1TB SSD for general purpose PC use, 2TB WD Black HDD. 2 external 5TB HDDs one for this PC and one for the MAC for backup. Was watching your video to see if there were any tips and advice for a fresh build and set up for music and audio production, before I started to install all the software, plugins, etc..

    • @ZachWirchak
      @ZachWirchak  Рік тому +1

      Nice build! That sounds like a great machine for all things creative! As for setting up on a new build, I had most everything dialed in on my last build. In my opinion, the nice thing about how downloads and plugin managers work, is they always put the proper files in the right spots. So all of that was nearly automatic on my end. The biggest thing I've changed since this build is my buffer size when working in the project. I use to bounce between 256 - 1024 depending on the size and CPU load, now it's been at 192 no matter the size of the project.

I will say, I work on large projects (100+ tracks) with lots of plugins... so the 13700k could be overkill for a lot of people.

    Congrats on the new rig, it sounds like a beauty - I am currently researching a build for myself and I've been really wondering about how noisy some of the builds I have come across are. I do record from time to time in the same room where all my gear is, things like an acoustic guitar miked up with a condenser or two, sometimes even a vocal, and I'm wondering if your experience has been that you could do things like that without worrying about hearing your rig whirring away in the background. Care to share your thoughts? Thanks in advance...

    • @ZachWirchak
      @ZachWirchak  9 місяців тому +2

      Hello! My build does create a little noise, but the times I've recorded live in the room (acoustic guitar and vocals), any fan noise is not picked up at all. I also have the stock fans from my case manufacture, so if I wanted to I could always replace the fans for some quieter ones. As I'm sitting here typing this, the ambient noises from my house creates as much or more noise than my tower does.

    One thing to watch for. M.2 slots may be sharing PCIe Lanes with something else, so choices must be configured in. Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master (Rev. 1.2) does share SSD slot M.2 the third with SATA 4 & 5, so it cannot be used for NVMe, but works great with the SSD in there a SATA, leaving SATA 4 & 5 available.
    Cramming a 4x SSD RAID card will definitely need to bifurcate with the 16x graphics card, so 8x & 8x there. PCIe Lanes is Rocket Science

      go with 12th gen if you are thinking of latest windows 11 because the windows process scheduler works great with it, it will provide best performance, 12th gen is also so power efficient because P core and E core terminology so thing is that , and about R5000 series if you are not gonna do any kind of single threaded task like gaming which requires more single thread power then Going with R5000 series can be good choice considering productivity and having no gpu , intel's iGPU kinda sucks so there is that

      Yep see video info. He dropped the Adrush B668M and used a MSI Z690 Motherboard instead. Was zooming in on that as well as during reading i saw many had problems with BIOS not being ready for gen 13. Am preparing a new build as well.
      Current gear Elitebook 8460p, If i recall well. Intel Core i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz, with 16 GB ram. Should be ancient as my daw crashes already with 8 tracks of VSTi. As strong as my old core2duo of before i bought that referbished laptop think 8 years back. When running my sampler and lightweight VSTi then i can do 16 tracks or so. Used to run most on hardware as ATARI starter, heck still work on Logic 5.3 PC, on win 10.
      But after mostly doing mixes only last years, and reaching 51th age in december, Its about time for a new workhorse. I just want to be able to use the DSP56300Emu-1.2.25 VSTi. The Virus emulator. On my current rig i only hear crackles when playing it. With buffer downgraded to the bottom i get some sound out of it, but impossible to use that instrument. So it amazes me that an i7 could run 100 tracks. Makes me fear that what i plan on building probably be overkill, lol.
      I will contact a hackintosh builder and ask him to make my new machine a Mac AND PC in one. Then i can give the new Logic a proper try instead of running it as virtual machine on my weak old laptop.
      Soon to build Dream-Build.

      Was about 2000 Euro last time i checked, but 17 October 14900K gets released, so waiting till that gets released. then the CPU price should go down a bit. So plan on then building it, or heck the hackintosh maker may have a 13th gen as 2nd hand cos one of his customers wants the 14th gen. Then i just get that one and possibly get it hackintoshed for the 2000 only.
      Taking air cooling cos i expect to be using the new build for at least 10 years. And i figure water hoses probably dry out within those 10 years, and then the system breaks. I do not do maintenance to my rigs, never used defragment even on my old gear. SO then i guess air cooling be most durable. And am no longer recording rappers or singers, so my computer may make some noise, as studio recorder instead of life recording.
      Still even in doubt over the motherboard, as i'm not sure if buying a DDR5 board be wiser then a DDR4 board. Figure the 128 GB DDR4 must be enough. But then i also know which ram to buy, as then i know the read speed of the mobo. If the mobo can only run ram at 2400 then it be silly to buy 3600 speed ram, as then the mobo wont be able to use that speeds and then i'd be wasting money.
      BUT it's remarkable that its possible to get the parts for under 2000. So makes sense to me to do it well if that affordable. So I try to get a mobo with 4 connections to M2 drives, so i can later put 2 more 8 TB drives in as future update, for the endlessly growing sound banks.
      SO like you the failing mobo was also on my mind. Figure i just spend the 250 to let the seller build it for me, then i do not have the worries of bios updates or configuration of ram in the software, but just get it running well. Bit of a pitty as i was kinda looking forward to finally build one myself. But all the review complaints about mobos not having been updated in the bios and not working kinda took the adventure away. As i do not want to invest, for me at least, such a huge amount and end up with gear thats not even working cos of a damn bios update. Cracking a demo i can see as fun, but i hate bios and finetuning of settings. So then rather pay for the build and know it got done well, and be hassle free.

      Thank you for the comment! I've heard this i7 runs hot. I've been monitoring the temps with different work loads and it's been good so far with the Noctua NH-U12S. When I'm working on a large Cubase project or editing some labor intensive 4K videos, the CPU core temp hovers around 48 degrees Celsius (118 Fahrenheit). But I've yet to have a project that pushes the CPU to over 50% workload and keeps it there. So I'm sure it'll get hotter once I have projects that will actually push it.

    I have an old 4 core 4.2 ghz with 8 meg of ram that works excellent except on midi latency when there the project gets bigger.
    From what I have read single core clock speed is likely the culprit, so I will be making a box with and i9-12900K at 5.2 ghz + 32 gigs of DDR4 memory and crossing my fingers. I did set my cache low but still have the latency.
    Has anyone used that i9-12900K chip and liked or hated it for DAW use?

      Interesting! So far the CPU/Cubase hasn't given me any problems. I also haven't messed with any of the "in software" performance setting like I had before on my older i7. Right now I'm running at 192 buffer size and my latency is at 2ms or 3ms and its perfect. This CPU, SSD(s) and ram combo loads up projects soooooo fast no matter the size. I'd say it loads them 5x faster.

      @Beto Blanco so far the largest project I've had open was 115 tracks, 30 mins long with 1-3 inserts on each track and A TON of automation throughout. I think the CPU performance would spike at 50% and would hover around 30%. I think I had that at 256 or 512 buffer size, can't remember. That same project on my old machine was at 95%+ CPU usage and I had to run it at 1000+ buffer.... and it still struggled.

    Hi, about music production i think your build should be ok if there is a limited set of tracks in windows, because audio drivers are not so good, but this is a problem of every not Apple user for audio and midi side. My suggestion, for vocal/voice side, please pay attenztion to the quality of the voice recorded on this youtube video, because it is terribile recorded in one untreated room with maybe not adeguate microphone like condenser type. Even if there is a carpet of audio added it is unacceptable for my personal point of view to "listen" audio suggestion with this sound scenario. 😊

      Xeons are really old architecture and really slow clock speed CPUs, absolutely not ideal for music production. Unless you record more than use heavy VSTs. Modern VSTs require good single core speed as well as heavy performance cores. Also, RAM speed matters too.

      I've used lots of Mac's over the past 15 years and have never had good luck when it comes to performance vs a good PC. The price vs performance to me is not there. I've also been a video editor for most of my career and to get a Mac that performs as well as a $2000 PC you've have to spend just about double. With that said, I know a few people who run smaller music production projects and they've been using the same Mac for 15+ years and it still runs great.
