    Hi all, am looking for some general guidance on the below spec for a DAW.. I've a music tech background but that was over 25 years ago and in a pre-digital age, so this is the first time I'm buying a dedicated machine, and I'm not au fait on computer hardware. Electronic music with recording guitars/vocals etc, will be using FL Studio to begin but may also want to try Ableton and/or ProTools. Any guidance or thoughts would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance :)
