Computer system requirements: Below are the minimum computer-system requirements for use with Capture™ and Studio One®. Mac Mac® OS X 10.8.5 Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor (Intel Core i3 or faster recommended) Windows Windows® 7 x64/x86 SP1 +platform update, Windows 8.1 x64/x86, Windows 10 x64/x86 Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD® Athlon™ X2 processor (Intel Core i3 or AMD Athlon X4 or faster recommended) Mac and Windows Systems 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended) 30 GB hard-drive space (Studio One) Internal or external 7200 RPM storage drive highly recommended Monitor with 1366×768 resolution (high-dpi monitor recommended) The minimum system requirements may differ for DAWs other than Studio One®. Please check the requirements for your DAW of choice with its manufacturer. Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) than you might experience while monitoring audio signals.
