[Video Request] Audio Workstation info

[thedavaad]

Hi there

 

First, i'm new here so apologies if this is in the wrong spot, please let me know if there is a better place for this

 

Anyway, I have watched a lot of the LTT content and one thing I've always noticed missing from their benchmarks or workstation related info, is audio workstations. As an audio engineer i think it'd be interesting to see how different parts affect performance in different audio software. For example when choosing a CPU, FL Studio favours better single core performance rather than multiple cores for music production; where as every workstation build recommends more cores over individual performance. They could also look at bounce times and even come up with some type of audio workstation stress test where they load in a bunch of plugins and samples and see what how it goes.

 

I know the short answer here is pretty straightforward, 'buy a decent Intel CPU' but it would be awesome to see audio workstations represented in some fashion and to have some more info on how different parts affect audio specific performance.

 

Cheers

i agree that would be cool.

I don't think anyone in their company knows much about audio beyond "these headphones sound good"

Last time they tried to do a custom speaker build it ended horribly, and their techquickie about speakers called the midrange driver a woofer and the woofer a subwoofer.

The problem is that no one at LMG know anything about audio. They have even acknowledged that with recent recruitment ad where they ask for editor/camera persons or writers who would be interested/experienced with audio. They had professional audio people come and do WAN show audio for them.

 

Honestly, if you have watched their videos, more so with WAN, this should already be clear. They don't know audio at all. Nothing. They know just how to lower volume and gain, and thats all.
