512 on the house computer and 256 on my "studio"'s one...

Posted by Freak on Aug-27-2005 10:45:

My main 2 ataris- 4meg each (thats fully expanded- which was a lot back in the day)
Editing ataris- 0.5meg (standard 520stfm)
Sudio Pc- 256
just for giggles- my Akais: 32meg (s3000)/20meg (s1000HD)/1.25meg (S950)

This Pc has 512- but its not in the studio

512

did have 1gb but 1 stick was faulty after some time.

definatly get another mainboard for support of a quicker FSB!

512 DDR

I have 3 512 sticks, but I can't use one because it conflicts with the other two. I'm gonna put it up for sale on ebay.

384 MB of SDRAM

2gb..I don't think I need any more

Posted by Analog Artisan on Aug-27-2005 14:03:

2 Matched 512 and 2 Matched 256 Sticks running Dual Channel (not that I think it makes much difference) giving me a total of 1.5Gig

Posted by TranceMasterUk on Aug-27-2005 19:09:

4gb on my main pc
and 2gb on my laptop

so more than enough i think

Wow, how can you people do anything with 512 or less?

I've got 2 GB on my DAW and 1 GB on a slave machine, and it's still not enough!

Less background application. Don't install many small programs. All together can take up alot of memory. I'm fine with my 512 MB though an extra could help

Hahaha, well I guess if you're on a budget then the little things will be important. But when I load up some of my tracks, Cubase alone can take up 2-3 gigs! Part of that is definitely samples... when you load up a 2.5 gig sample then even with disk streaming enabled it is going to eat memory.

I did my first productions in FL with 512 MB of RAM, and it drove me up the wall so much that I ended up getting a brand new computer!

Respect to you guys for being able to make do with so little (ronk: yikes! How many VSTs can you have open with that?)... I just couldn't hack it. At the time it felt like the only thing limiting me from being a really "good" producer (although, since then I've learned that there were many other things limiting me )

Posted by ronk on Aug-27-2005 22:03:

in my current project I have something like 30-40 wav samples, 6 vsts, 2 fl generators and 3 soundfonts. not much, but hey, I can produce sound with it
and I'm planning to buy a new computer at last..a brand new Athlon 64 X2 4400+ on a DFI LanParty nF4 SLI-DR with 1GB OCZ DualChannel Platinum Rev2, an Audiophile 2496, an ATI AIW X600pro 256MB PCI-E (not sure about this gfx yet) and a Western Digital 250GB HD SATA2 KS.
ahhhhh..........what an upgrade it'll be...

8 gigs

I am just dreaming

That's what i'm thinking too!

2 z3tas eat up a lot on 512!

edit:

is 2 gigs of ram, and a AMD64 3300+ good enough?

Posted by Enfero on Aug-27-2005 23:52:

Haha, I have 192MB. About time to upgrade

Although with not too much crap on my computer it appears to work just fine when running FL Studio 5 for me (except having more than 3 instances of z3ta+ running, which totally crashes it). Got tweaking utilities that helps too, lol.
I have to wait for my student loan :/

Good enough for what? It can run more than two instances of z3ta+, but the answer to your question is going to be relative to your production workflow.

Thing is I want to run more than two instances of z3ta maybe 6-10 depending on the song. Also I adding effects like compresion, eq and such to my other instruments. Is there a more efficient way other than running 6 or so at a time, like saving some as .wavs? Is that a good idea?

wtf...i dont wanna know the way you're producing

I got 2 Gigs on my main and another gig on my slave computer and it's exactly what I need. Checking the process-tab in windows, Cubase.exe usually eats up to a 700-800MB of RAM.
