Been playing guitar for over a decade and want to be able to record some of my music on my laptop. Searched the Internet but haven't been able to find definite answer on if my laptop will allow me to cover the bases. I've got a Dell Inspiron 7000 13 inch (the hybrid one that you can fold back). I don't know about computers, so I don't know if the specs on it (Processor : 5th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-5200U Processor (3M Cache, up to 2.70 GHz), Operating System: Windows 8.1 (64Bit) English, Memoryi: 8GB Single Channel DDR3L 1600MHz (8GBx1), Hard Drivei: 500GB 5400 rpm SATA Hybrid Hard Drive with 8GB Cache) are sufficient.
I'm not a pro, I just want a set up that's good and hassle free for amateur recording.
I don't know if there's anything I can do myself to upgrade the specs on it myself that will make a difference. Like I've looked into adding more RAM but 8 is the most it will allow.
So yeah basically want to know if I can record music with those specs, and separately, what I can do upgrade wise (if anything) to enhance performance.
Thanks
