I started with pretty much the same hardware as you mention and found myself upgrading because I hate waiting on computers. Yeah like one fellow said Reaper will run on a potato (almost) the thing is, what are you throwing at Reaper? And how patient are you? I've been in computers for 30 year and Reaper almost since it came out. Assuming it's Win10, you def need to find the system optimization. If you plan on mixing in multiple locations, what kind of mic setup are your going with on what audio interface? That matters a great deal as it could drag you down. 256GB would do.Īnd then if it has a HDD already, see if you can move that as the secondary drive if it has space, and you'll be rocking, 5400RPM can hold samples fine.īut honestly, even if your main drive is only a 5400RPM it's still doable, despite a thousand people telling you it's not.

Obviously, best case budget upgrade for you would be to put 2x 8GB sticks in = 16GB (2x8GB sticks gives better performance than 1x16GB), and put in there an SSD as the boot drive. In regards to RAM, have you got any large sample library instruments? Even then i expect 8GB would cope as they're all quite efficient - even large drum libraries. I'm sure a 5400RPM drive is capable of at least 100 tracks, as people used them years and years ago for 16-32 multitrack recordings on the move.Ĥ4k/16bit audio is around 0.2MB/s and i'm sure most (5400) laptop drives manage 50MB/s easy enough. If you hit any performance issues you can soon bounce down to audio. Just make sure that windows power settings are set to high performance or it may squash your CPU power. You'll be fine, i've run it on a 5400RPM built in drive before. We'd love to hear what you have produced with Reaper, but please post it in the weekly sticky.
