5. Make Your Own Music ComputerUnderstanding how to make your own music computer allows you to make decisions on the type of components that are used to build it. So instead of buying a pre-manufactured computer and upgrading the parts to meet the best audio processing possible, build your own music computer and be sure of the highest quality system from the beginning. Here's a tip: doing some multi-tracking software research before purchasing computer parts saves time when understanding the right part connections for adapting your future music studio needs. Before putting together the computer system, ensure the workspace is dust free, dry and bright enough to make all the proper connections. It is best to work in areas without carpet if possible, to avoid charges of static electricity. Using an anti-static wrist strap or an anti-static mat prevents this problem. It is important when you make your own music computer to follow manufacturer recommendations for individual part settings and installation. The usual order for installing parts in the computer case and into a proper system is as follows: 1. Power supply. 2. Cooling fan. 3. Motherboard. 4. CPU. 5. RAM (Memory) 6. Heat sink or cooler. 7. Hard drive. 8. CD / DVD drive. 9. Floppy drive. 10. Operating system.
