I use an “old” Intel-based Laptop Dual-Core 1,6 GHz with 2 GB of RAM
Not too much, but enough for what I do with it
It’s runnin XP and Korg Legacy Collection
I only need ONE TRACK in Podium and a single plugin
Too much
OS is optimized for audio, of course
More than 100 GB free space on harddrive, for example
Point is: I had no problems with Reaper, Mulab or Renoise
Never, could play these synths and a lot more for hours
Podium: Not even a minute
So what?
