FireWalk | The Best Computer For Music Production - What's Needed And Why! @FireWalkMusic | Uploaded June 2019 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Check out my new and updated video here: youtu.be/ayt8-s77cQs

In this video, I will show you the best computer for music production and you will learn why music production is so demanding on your computer. Not all CPU's are well suited for music production, and in this video, you'll learn why that is. We're also going to be building a brand new computer from scratch, and I'll show you all the parts that go into it and why.
If you're on the hunt for a new computer for music production then check out the parts list below. It doesn't matter if you use FL Studio, Ableton, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper or whatever, they all work very similarly, so a computer that works well for one DAW should also work well for another.

Here's an UPDATED parts list for the best PC for music production in 2022, based on my new and updated video:
