Could this PC handle audio recording? In like recording or producing music?

It has an award winning (it won a Grammy)sound chip built in so it should do it well enough, though I have not had accasion to use that option yet I am well satisfied with playback quality, hope this helps .

Yes, this is one of the most powerful processors available and I can't think of how any more expensive processor would give you any advantage for music production.

Overkill for Gaming... I use it to record audio for PodCast and building training pages...

It has midi ports, you just need an input/output cable and them you can record into the PC. I do some records and sounds excellent!

Yes you can. Great PC, for low level performance. Microsoft office & desktop works great. Enjoy

I use it for production in video and multi-track recording. It's a pretty hefty audio device and it will handle anything you throw at it. It will diminish your latency to basically zero, so you should be happy with it.

Yes it can record audio as well, and you can here it remotely too if you want. Best camera setup I have ever had!

This unit is for basic mixing. It has built in preamp for mic and has instrument inputs also. It doesn't have a USB or FireWire for recording to a computer. This would require an audio interface to communicate with a computer (CPU).

No, no, and NO. The card is only capable of a 20ms latency running ASIO - no where near what you'll need for audio production. Nothing but clicks and pops during playback and especially during multitracking. I sent mine back because of this, and the fact that the RCA outputs buzzed like crazy. If you're looking to produce music, get a decent IO system from M-Audio or Presonus, and either a firewire or thunderbolt card, depending on what the IO supports. Do NOT buy this card for music production.

It would depend on the recording device. This mixer has a onboard compressor that's works well. So, it could definitely make a great interview recording.

I don't see why it wouldn't be, but the sound quality is so poor I'm not sure why you would. The mic on your computer will sound as good or better if you want to record through audition.

I can't tell for sure. I bought that Sound Card for output mostly. The sound is great rhough. However the software included allows you do many things .Good luck

I really wish I could help you out there. unfortunately I never got the chance to try to record with it. Honestly if I were you I would look into this model with the FX, it will cost more but the cost is cheaper than getting an fx processor like that.

I wouldn't advise it. For your purposes, and to ensure quality recordings, I would advise a laptop with faster processor speed and more memory. This is a decent little laptop for general purpose computing, but you require something with more robust capacity. If you're trying to keep it cheap, consider the Lenovo S415.

Hey Adam! I have done a bit of "digital audio recording" myself on Logic Express 9. I have managed to do this on an early 2008 white macbook (2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, and a 120 GB 5400 rpm). I ran into a few problems with the hard drive being to slow and the application crashing because I didn't have enough RAM. Though I never ran into problems with the processor, and there is a reason for this. Recording software doesn't rely on the processor as much as it does the RAM and hard disk speed. A 2.4 GHz i5 is plenty for your needs. The things you should pay attention to are RAM, which this computer has 4 GB of (unless you are recording/mixing more than 7 or 8 tracks this will be plenty). It is expandable to 16 gb, which is probably enough RAM to handle time travel. And the hard drive speed...which if you manage your computers files well, and don't let it get all bogged down like a ...*gulp* WinDoWs ComPuTRe...then you will be ok ;). Basically what im getting at is that the i5 model will work just fine n' dandy, and as for the i7? You would just be buying a higher capacity, graphically faster (video games, videos, making shapes with the mouse pointer, the list goes on) laptop that has a better resale value. Hope this helped. -Andy

Without a doubt. Yes. I did however add an Nvidia video card to the computer with 2GB of Ram. Other than that the computer has handled everything I've thrown at it from video editing (HD) to full blown audio studio recording with Native Instruments Komplete, Camel Audio Alchemy, FL Studio, Ableton Live and more... can't go wrong with these guys.

not from the unit, but if you are feeding the sound in from analog source to the rca's in, sure you could. This is a component recorder, it doesn't connect to the pc in that way. But as I say, If you feed the line out from the source, to line in on the unit, you can record what you hear.
