Digital Audio Workstations
The main workstation is a Lenovo LEGION PRO 7 high-performance laptop, featuring a Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU (24 cores) with 64 GB DDR5 RAM and 8 TB of ultra-fast M.2 SSD internal storage, plus 8 TB of Thunderbolt-4 external SSD storage space. The CPU provides plenty of audio processing power for world-class audio plugins, while the external Audient ASP880 microphone preamps and RME Fireface UFX audio interface guarantee pristine audio recording and playback. Additional RAID 1 HD arrays running on a separate, custom desktop PC are used to provide additional storage and backup space.
