Whether in the studio or on the road, DJs and music producers are in need of powerful computers that can translate, mix, and edit the sounds they create and master. 2021 comes bearing gifts of new and improved computer technology that is sure to please DJs and producers of all levels.
The Acer Predator Helios 300 is a powerful computer priced below $1,000. It has a 16GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 1060, running on a 6-core Intel Core i7 processor. The Acer Predator Helios packs a full speed of 4.1GHz. Most producers stay up all day an all night when recording, mixing, and editing. The Microsoft Surface Pro 6 is just the right companion of long days and nights in the studio, with its mighty 13.5-hour battery life. DJ-producer James Haidak mentions buyers can choose between Core i5 or i7 processor for the Surface Pro 6.
The Apple MacBook Pro 15” will always be part of any best computer lists. For years, DJs and producers have been using MacBook Pros on stage and in the studio. Buyers can pick between Core i7 or i9 for the MacBook Pro, with RAM upgradeable from 16GB to 32GB, and SSD options from 256GB to 512GB. James Haidak considers the Dell XPS 9570 as the MacBook Pro’s strongest competitor since its first release. In fact, the XPS 9570 exceeds its Apple counterpart. It is the best Windows-powered laptop for music production and even gaming.
The last one on the list is a fairly inexpensive laptop compared to the ones previously listed. The Razer Blade Stealth is the best-valued computer with great audio quality and incredibly useful digital audio workspaces for its price range.
James Haidak is an up-and-coming DJ and music producer. His signature sound is distinctly influenced by deep house and electronica, but he likes to mix it up when he spins, covering more nuanced and pulsating 2000s grooves with synths, breakbeats, and melodic late ‘90s techno.
