System Requirements

Windows

Recommend Requirements
  • Windows 11 or above
  • Intel or AMD Quad Core or above CPU
  • 16GB RAM
  • Onboard GPU or dedicated GPU
    • If using more than 1 external display, a dedicated GPU is recommended
  • Some sort of audio output such as:
    • Dedicated audio interface
    • USB Digital to Audio Converter
    • Onboard audio output (e.g. 3.5mm headphone out, line out etc)
      • NOTE: A large number of desktop and laptop computers do not ground their onboard audio outputs properly. This creates a 'humming' noise through the audio cable. So if you choose to use the onboard headphone jack / line out jack to go into your audio mixer, and you get a humming noise, this is why.
