    I have a PC that's used for gaming, and it's pretty powerful and wondering if anyone uses their PC/laptop for both gaming and music production with stuff from R2R/sister site also installed? Any negative effects on the gaming aspects?

    A good gaming PC will generally make a very good performing DAW PC, the only drawback might be fan noise if its an open case but otherwise you should be good with the addition of an audio interface. There won't really be any negatives expect for disk space but you could always buy another Nvme for your games! Just don't run games while your in your DAW of choice :D

    Why would there be any negative aspects? A gaming PC is a PC just like any other PC.

    And in case you wonder, I have also a gaming chair - still no issues.

    The only downside for me is noise, some drivers disabled for better latency, as bluetooth, wireless and extra consumptiom by using maximum performance (100% cpu, no idle, etc, typical config for better latency). If into uad ecosystem for me windows was very buggy, if not its just perfect. Audient and rme have excelent windows drivers
