Hey guys, this is just a quick little PSA, I'll be on a brief hiatus while I upgrade to a new PC and get my audio stuff back set up. I kept running into issues from having a 1060 Nvidia GPU, which if you're not initiated into computer geek stuff is ridiculously underpowered for the kind of content creation I do -- music and music videos. I recently got an Acer Nitro 5 and ported over all my files, dropped the new HDD in, so everything should be fine.

Cross your fingers for me getting everything back up and running!
ALSO, expect my next news post to be a list of music production freebies to round out the month! And thanks to all of you who took a gander at my last news post. The music video is blowing up pretty nice! 800 views in 4 days. That's a record for me!

New powerful PC is always exciting! GL, can't wait to see what you churn out after the switch is completed

We will see! I'm thinking the video card won't do much for the front end, but a larger SSD and a faster processor should make a pretty big difference. Plus DDR5 RAM that I plan to upgrade to max capacity. Right now I'm just getting hung up trying to bring over all my plugs, some of which I've lost licenses for, and others which I don't recall. I should have made a big list before I dropped the HDDs, expecting these newfangled DLLs and VST3s to behave like they did last time I swapped PCs. It was as easy as drag and drop back then.
So far, okayish. I did have a few scares where Melodyne was crashing the daw on load-up. Fixed that by just not letting it update.
If you ever switch PCs, save all your installers for every single program to removable media, make a list of DAW, audio processors, VSTs, and find those installers. Do the same. I'm going to have to go a'diggin' for what I copied over that didn't work the first go round for that reason.
