Cubase and noise

[Guillaume Tello]

Hello,


Happy new year to all.

I'd like to use a TT or Mega STE to drive a drum box near my musical
environment : so I need a quiet machine!

Is it safe to remove the PSU fan of the TT/Mega STE ?

How many RAM is required by Cubase ? I can imagine to work from a
RamDisk and stop the Hard drive (seconde source of noise) with the
accessory "Stop and Lock".

Of course, the Ultrasatant could be a solution, but for now, I don't
have the money to buy one and am looking for a "free" solution.

Can a TT/Mega STE boot from a ZIP SCSI ?

Thanks for your advices,

Guillaume.

Depends on what you have inside it and the temperature in the room it's
standing.

A Matrix-card gets quite hot, a Crazy Dots not.

I have a quite recent Fujitsu-SCSI in the TT which does not make much
noise, but needs extra cooling (also silent with a simple resistor ~8V).

I've removed the PSU completely and use an old external AT-PSU whose noise
you hardly hear. A better solution might be to install a control for the
speed of the fan.

Without PSU, HD and any card a TT should run without cooling.

I don't have the graphic card installed,
an old SCSI HD, that's all.

But, using my setup, I noticed that I play loud enough, so the computer
noise is not a problem anymore.
