Setting up a Windows based music workstation using Nuendo or other multi-track software with stereo and / or surround sound? Need to configure a custom built computer with sound card and MIDI for music recording? It is best to use a computer that has only the bare bones essential Windows services and applications. Multi-track audio programs (like Nuendo, etc) with plug-ins become less stable and vulnerable to blue screen errors and other problems when used on "standard" out of the box machines (such as the average consumer computer that are loaded with programs).
