Plugins in editing can also be resource-hungry – meaning they need heavier performance from the CPU and RAM.Ī DAW such as Audacity or Reaper may not be as resource-heavy, but you need to keep in mind that there are several other processes and programs that need to be running at all times just with the Operating System alone. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve come across this in audiobook recordings from laptops that ruined the performance with excessive fan revs. Often, once you start getting into production on a laptop, the recording process itself can cause a fan to rev like crazy, which means it gets into your recording and makes it noisy. You can also upgrade it slowly to make it more of a workhorse.
However, the key factor to always keep in mind is that all parts need to remain compatible with each other – see your local computer shop to always check before purchase! Why Choose a Desktop PC for Podcasting?Īs mentioned already, you can, generally, get a more powerful machine in a desktop compared to a laptop. I like to call building desktop PCs “future-proofing”, due to the customization ability. With a laptop, there are not many parts that can be replaced should they fail. Generally, a desktop PC can be custom built or pre-built (the ones from the store are ready to go) and will have more resource power and ability for future upgrades as they arise, or when the funds are available to do so. What’s the difference, you may be thinking? However, some people may not want a laptop and may be looking for a desktop PC. In another article, we went through some suggestions to get a person started on their quest for a laptop for podcasting.
What’s the Difference Between a Laptop & Computer for Podcasting? We update this post periodically to reflect changes in technology, and to answer any questions that hadn’t been covered yet. Our ‘Best Computer for Podcasting’ guide was originally written in 2018.
