| The [[https://manual.ardour.org/setting-up-your-system/the-right-computer-system-for-digital-audio/|Ardour manual]] has a interesting introduction about getting the right computer system for digital audio. Below that article there is also a (somewhat Windows oriented) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUsLLEkswzE| video]] by Richard Ames, which could be helpful to get a idea which things are involved for this topic. Summary: lots of things are involved for a well performing real-time audio workstation. It's not simply a matter of buying a computer with massive CPU and memory power, as the coming sections on this page shows. | The [[https://manual.ardour.org/setting-up-your-system/the-right-computer-system-for-digital-audio/|Ardour manual]] has a interesting introduction about getting the right computer system for digital audio.
