MUSIC STORE Audio PCs

MUSIC STORE Professional supplies high-performance computers designed specifically for audio production. Whether you are composing, producing, making music at home or engineering mixes, these preconfigured systems combine fast SSDs, noise-reduced cases, modern processors and studio-ready I/O for dependable, low-latency workflows.

Drive Storage

Audio projects and sample libraries demand substantial storage. SSDs deliver rapid boot and load times, while HDDs provide economical capacity for archiving sessions and media. A hybrid setup offers the best of both: speed where it matters, space where it pays.

Memory (RAM)

RAM is your live workspace in the DAW. 8–16 GB can cover lighter work, 32 GB suits larger productions with multiple plug-ins, and 64 GB+ is ideal for orchestral libraries and complex sound design. MUSIC STORE Audio PCs are built with clear upgrade paths.

Graphics Card

For audio-first rigs, integrated graphics are typically sufficient. A dedicated GPU is only needed for video editing or graphics-intensive tasks. All models offer HDMI and DisplayPort for multi-monitor arrangements.

Ports & Connectivity

Modern I/O is essential: USB 3.0/USB-C, Thunderbolt, PCIe slots, plus LAN and Wi-Fi for networking and cloud/NAS workflows. Interfaces, controllers and external drives integrate seamlessly in UK studio environments.

Desktop, Mini or 19-inch?

Choose the form factor that fits your setup: Mini PCs for mobile or space-limited rooms, classic Desktops for home studios, and 19" rack systems for professional installations and touring racks.

Which PC do I need?

Audio PC Mini: Compact, quiet and travel-friendly.
Audio PC Home: Entry-level recording and mixing with room to upgrade.
Audio PC Pro: Robust performance for demanding multi-track sessions.
Audio PC Pro Plus: High-end system with ample SSD capacity and RAM for virtual instruments and sound design.
Audio PC Rack: 19-inch format for fixed studio racks and live backline.

FAQ – Audio PCs

Which components are most important in an audio PC?

A fast CPU, sufficient RAM, SSD storage, a reliable motherboard/power supply and quiet cooling. This combination keeps DAWs responsive and sessions stable.

How does an audio PC differ from an office or gaming machine?

Audio PCs are optimised for low latency, stability and quiet operation, with studio-centric connectivity (USB, Thunderbolt, PCIe) rather than graphics horsepower.

How much RAM do UK studios typically use?

Home and project studios often start at 16 GB; 32 GB is common for larger productions; 64 GB+ for extensive sample-based scoring or heavy VI use.

How can I minimise latency when tracking?

Install current ASIO drivers, select small buffer sizes (64–256 samples), enable High Performance power mode in Windows and use direct monitoring on your interface.

Do I need a dedicated graphics card for audio work?

Usually not. Integrated GPUs suffice unless you are producing video or 3D content alongside audio.

Which ports should I look for in a UK studio setup?

USB 3.0/USB-C and Thunderbolt for interfaces and controllers, HDMI/DisplayPort for multi-monitor rigs, PCIe for DSP/expansion cards, plus wired LAN and Wi-Fi.

Are MUSIC STORE Audio PCs compatible with major DAWs used in the UK?

Yes — optimised for Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, Pro Tools, FL Studio and REAPER, with broad support for USB/Thunderbolt interfaces from leading manufacturers.

What’s a sensible SSD/HDD split?

OS, DAW and libraries on SSD for speed; archives and backups on a second SSD or HDD. Many UK users opt for a 1–2 TB SSD plus larger secondary storage.

What support and warranty options are available in the UK?

MUSIC STORE provides UK-friendly advice and international warranty coverage. Systems are tested and preconfigured before dispatch.
