Home studio with good orchestral sounds

Featured Replies

What kind of computer, software, and other hardware are needed to outfit a home studio capable of playing a full orchestral score? For the computer, the processor, memory, etc; for sounds, modules or software; software, composition, mixing, etc. Is there a book that gives good guidance?

The specs I have planned for myself are:

ASUS P6X58D-E with SATA 3 and USB 3
Intel i7 950 (4 x 3.06 GHz with HT)
24 GB DDR3-1333 RAM
M-Audio Delta 1010LT Soundcard
GeForce 8800GT
BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 750W PSU
Thermaltake Element S Studio Case series

That should be able to cover pretty much any VSTi today (maybe except Vienna).

Basically, what you'll want is a powerful CPU, a lot of RAM (over 16gb recommended) & a good professional grade soundcard and a proper power supply.

Maybe a good set of speakers too.
