dont get a pre manufactured computer. theyre overpriced and are built with mid to lowgrade parts at best. you can have a beast built by your local computer shop for at least a 30 to 40 % discount over the big names. (hp, dell, gateway etc..)

you wont get studio quality out of a computer that you dont spend alot of money on.. you have to get that right first... if you want studio quality it'd prolly be cheaper to go to a studio instead of spendin $2000+ for a home audio recording system.

What does FourPlay Studio use?

Computer (300mhz, 64mb ram)...Mic...Small Mixer...thats about it.

If you can line up your own beats, and record all the vocals at home, then you can get it professionally mixed&mastered somewhere else, and cut your studio hours by like 60-70%....but i wouldnt recommend mixing it at home, unless you have 6-8 months to devote to learning a mixing program.

Peace
