Hi, I am about to explore the world of DAW-based music composing and recording and I discovered LMMS recently as a supposedly great tool for these tasks. Being an armchair guitarist I aim to jot down some ideas only and spice them up with drums, keys etc - no serious demo making or professional sound engineering is in sight for me:)
I am more or less aware of the limitations of my current PC, a Windows 7 powered Dell laptop - could you guys with more experience check out the configuration and suggest on any changes to secure LMMS will work and music editing won't be a series of freezes and restarts? Any thought is absolutely welcome:)
Model: Dell Latitude E6420
Specs:
RAM: 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM / 1333 MHz
CPU: Intel Core i5-2520M@2.50 GHz, 64-Bit
HDD: 320 GB
Sound card: Intel onboard card
Essentially, is my laptop powerful enough to cope with the requirements of LMMS? And another thing: until I do not plan to plug my guitar can I use the onboard sound card with the latest ASIO drivers for creating tracks from what I find inside LMMS? I plan to buy a USB audio interface later but for the time being I just want to get familiar with the software and its capabilities. Thanks a lot in advance for your replies.
