Rain Recording Solstice

Rain Recording Solstice Dual Core Audio Computer Description

As a Rain Recording PC user myself, I can tell you the build quality is second to none and the machines are QUIET. Great remote support if you need it, and the RainCare extended support is more than just an extended warranty. We can sell you a computer or a turnkey package with pre-installed components ready to plug in and record upon arrival. The only PC line we offer at ZenPro Audio is Rain because it works and the support is un-matched. - Warren Dent / ZenPro Audio

Rain Recording PC Review / See All ZenPro Audio Reviews Here: Review Page   When I took a look around for a PC-for-Audio company to do business with, only one struck me as worthwhile: Rain Recording. The biggest reasons were that not only would they answer the phone when I would call and were 100% ready to help me, but the remote support they offer is priceless as well. I’m not a tech or geeky computer guy, I understand what I have to for DAW and other uses. The good people at Rain provide all the geeky knowledge me or my customers will ever need.   I’ve been using an “Element” series Rain Recording PC for a while now and have never had a glitch with the machine. It is quiet (I don’t quite agree with saying you can just put your mic next to it and record, but it is very quiet by any standards) and reliable. The build quality is superb, tight wiring going on in there and the case is stunningly beautiful (the glow and the aluminum case get a lot of comments from local studio clients of mine). You really get your choice of components, and we can check with Rain before hand to be sure something you want to do doesn’t have any obvious issues with a particular setup. I went with Intel on Intel just based on good history with that combo, but the AMD systems are very powerful and I’ve run AMD setups in the past again with no issues.   Conclusion: Remote support via the web, great service before and after the sale and superb build quality are all reasons why I choose Rain Recording PC’s in the ZenPro studio. I am proud to be an authorized Rain Recording dealer.
