Proposed DAW build
Hello All,
I have just been introduced to Sony Vegas software and am quite impressed. I am planing on using it for live recording with the following proposed build.
I would like feedback from users with firsthand experience in DAW simultaneous multitrack recording. Specifically, I would like to know if this system will be able to record 24 tracks at 192KHz sampling rate simultaneously.
Video editing (if any) will done on a different machine.

I’d get a larger SSD, maybe 80 to 120gb. Plugin’s and additional software will eat up a 40gb drive. “They” say that an SSD will last longer if it has plenty of open space to sequentially use the available space evenly. Don’t know if it’s true but it sounds logical.
I’d get a good video card with dual 1200dpi monitors. Screen real estate is always a good thing. Vegas’s components can be setup in custom views across multi monitors for maximum benefit.
Lastly, plan on external hard drives for backing up all your work as you progress with each project. Portable USB hard drives are cheap and big enough for these tasks.
Enjoy the new system.
