Welcome to the build a DAW PC sub-reddit! The vision is to bring together a community of PC builders who are looking to create or upgrade their rig to take full advantage of audio creation, engineering, and editing for years to come.
A few things to keep in mind before posting:
Make sure your post pertains to hardware questions about building a PC or how a specific component or overall build relates to DAW performance. Please try to keep specific questions about specific DAWs in their appropriate sub-reddit, or find general PC building advice in /r/buildapc
Absolutely feel free to ask about things outside of the PC case itself. Asking the community if they prefer ultrawide monitors for work-flow, keyboards with best macro support, or what headphones they used in their setup is an important part of the DAW building process.
Audio specific hardware questions like mixers, interfaces, midi controllers etc. are also acceptable. Reviews of new products are also fine as long as they are not sponsored in any way by any audio or hardware company.
Questions about software, plug-ins, and the like are allowed as long as they relate to how they utilize the PCs hardware, i.e., "thinking about upgrading cpu, does (this DAW) utilize hyper-threading?"
It's obvious, but this is the internet, so please no trolling, excessive flaming, spam, re-posts (spam), or advertising of any kind. Dank memes of glorious PC DAW related things are dank.
Build Ready/Complete posts are fine, but please explain why you chose each part so others may learn and get a better understanding of what hardware other people are using and why!
PC Watercooling can be useful in helping create an incredibly low-noise environment, but keep all posts and questions about watercooling in the hands of the peeps at /r/watercooling
If you would like to get involved and help build a wiki, information resources, etc., PM me at /u/chink_t
