Hey  System, apps all go on the same hard drive, preferably the 120GB. The sample library, well, it's more difficult to say. If you plan low use of them, they can be on either, if they are to be used a lot, best would be dedicated hard drive. The Samsung will be fine for recording audio/files. The main thing to remember is to always leave the mainstream operation (system, apps -you cannot move them really elsewhere anyway-, other files) on the system drive. Leave some GB free (I'd say twice at least your amount of RAM but it's a minimum, more free space is better for files to write and the swap files of the virtual memory to be happy). Now everything that are audio files (or the whole project to keep things tidy) are better on a separated drive (if you want to have more than a few tracks possible at one time). If you use extensively samples, it'd be better to keep them separated too on a another drive.

hi lepetitmartien , thanks for answering!  did i get it right ? when you say - " everything that are audio files (or the whole project to keep things tidy) are better on a separated drive (if you want to have more than a few tracks possible at one time). If you use extensively samples, it'd be better to keep them separated too on a another drive." does it mean we should use the system/progs on the 120GB , the audio files / projects on the 400GB (f.ex.) and the sample library on another more drive? in fact we use quite a lot samples from battery when programming beats. - "Leave some GB free " = assigning RAM memory to Logic in this case? where can i do that? - Is there an option in Logic to create "single files" as in ACID Pro , where everything concerning the project is copied in one folder - logic file, audio files, samples, etc. ? actually we run Logic 6.4.2. thanks ...! bonne soirée milosz

Yup. For the extra drive for samples, try first with the ones you have, ii there's a glitch, you know the solution…  QUOTE - "Leave some GB free " = assigning RAM memory to Logic in this case? where can i do that? No, I was talking about leaving some gigs free on the hard drives, more than twice the amount of RAM you have, the more the merrier. I'm talking about the system drive. It is where the swap files of the virtual memory are by default. You can't assign more RAM to logic, or to any software running on OS X, it's all the system that handles this. If you need more RAM, add some to the computer. With about 2 GB (or more) in your config you'll be happy till you want to get happier. QUOTE - Is there an option in Logic to create "single files" as in ACID Pro , where everything concerning the project is copied in one folder - logic file, audio files, samples, etc. ? actually we run Logic 6.4.2. here it's a question for Logic aficionados, and as it's very different from the rest it'd be better to separate the thread. and keep things neat. btw, there's a manual with Logic, it's an important read!!!

The "Save as Project" option in the file menu does this. It allows the creation of a unified folder containing used and unused audio files, samples, ultrabeat samples, impulse responses, video files and even backup versions of arrangements. A dialogue box opens with all the options. I would recommend copying samples rather than moving them when doing this, as its too easy to destroy your original sample libraries otherwise. Sorry for keeping this thread off topic LPM.
