I don\'t actually own Gigastudio yet but I know all of the basics about it. But then, I was reading a review on Harmony Central ( http://www.harmony-central.com/Reviews/GigaStudio/ (\"http://www.harmony-central.com/Reviews/GigaStudio/\") )
and they said that you need to dedicate a whole computer to the program. Is this what you guys do? Do you have one computer dedicated to Gigastudio and a separate computer doing your sequencing? I really want to know, because I want to know hot to plan my computer(s).
Thanks

Giving Gigastudio its own PC seems to be the simplest (not cheapest) way to get full polyphony and avoid \'issues\' with audio sequencers.

Then what\'s the cheapest method that works?

I have a PentiumII 350, WaMi 24 sound card, two hard discs and running Gigastudio and Cubase on the same computer. I have no problem with it. Of course I don´t get full polyphony, around 80 voices at best, and I can´t use a lot of effects when I have a lot of voices because of the slow CPU. But I have no crashes, and I have a lot of fun
