Request: Benchmarking DAW performance

[roman.sattler]

Hi guys,

 

I recently tried to find some information on audio recording; recommended specs, computers, interfaces etc.

And I ran into the most useless articles ever. Ranging from "Just buy a mac" to "the faster the cpu and the more ram the better" (duh)

 

I was wondering if anyone at LMG is interested in benchmarking the effect of CPU and memory on DAW and VSTi plugin performance and audio interface latency.

Differences between USB, Firewire (yes, IEEE 1394a. I'm serious...) and Thunderbolt for interfaces would be quite nice too.

 

I don't know if anyone cares though...

theyre not really experienced in the music production industry, but it would be cool to see them do a comparison between popular products such as ableton, fl studio, protools, etc.... to see which uses the most resources and of what kind, like ram, CPU etc...

Yeah, I know. But I don't know about any reliable people who are.

The audio hardware industry is a huge mess, would be nice if Linus could shake up those idiots at least a little bit¨.
