Hello handsome refined intellectuals, I had good luck with my last thread getting information so figured I'd ask you guys about computers for music production. I did search other posts but still it helps me to make my own for clarity. So apparently I bought the worst laptop in the world from a pawn shop for recording. I've never had problems before, even the shittiest Acer let me have 20 virtual instruments going in the past, but this Acer is like world record shitty. Opening Ozone 9 with one instrument crashes the whole thing. I just bought the $500 version of the axe IO interface and figured it would be a waste to put it thru another shitty computer.
I want to treat myself and buy a computer designed for recording and programming music. I don't know anything about computers. From what I read cpu, ram and something else- that can be called ssd? Lol are the most important for music production. Can someone explain to me what these things each do? How would I benefit from having a better one of each? I was thinking an i7 4.0 ghz 32gb ddr4 ram, 1tb ssd would be ideal for what I'm doing and my budget. All I know is those acronyms and numbers are supposed to be good I guess. Anything I'm missing? I'm just looking on Amazon for computers with those specs. Anyone have any computers they can suggest to me or what specs I should be looking for? I'd like to spend around $600, $750 would be ok, and if I have to spend $1000 I will but I will hate it a little bit.
Thanks in advance for any input and advice you guys are great.
