Hello everyone. I will be receiving my new Mac in a couple of days, and I want to know where to put what files to optimize performance of my audio software. Here are the details:
System: 15.4" MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 120 GB 5400rpm HD External HD: 250 GB 7200rpm via Firewire 800 (WD MyBookPro - also brand new) Running: Logic Express 7.2 Reason 3.0.5 (usually via ReWire as a slave to Logic) Reason Drum Kits 2.0 (big, and and with various other refills as well) GarageBand Jam Packs 1 and 4 (a big one) Line6 GearBox (and I think I might buy the plug-in upgrade) Amplitube 2.0 (and I might also buy NI Guitar Rig 2.0) So I assume that all of my programs themselves should be installed on the internal hard drive, and that I should record all of my audio files to the external hard drive. But what about the plug-ins, samples, etc. (Reason Drum Kits, refills, Jam Packs, Amplitube, et. al.)? Do these go on the external? Or will that be bad for performance? Simply put, what goes where? Thanks in advance. -------------------- 2.33 GHz MBP C2D, 3GB RAM
120GB 5400rpm internal, 500GB 7200rpm eSATA external, 250GB 7200rpm FW800 external Logic Studio, Reason 3, Reason Drum Kits 2, Reason Pianos, various refills, Line6 TonePort & GearBox Plug-Ins, Alesis i/O 26, Amplitube 2, Ampeg SVX, CSR, T-RackS, EZDrummer and various add-ons, Nomad Factory Studio Pro Bundle (Blue Tubes Bundle v3 & v2, Analog Signature Pack, BlueVerb DRV-2080, Essential Studio Suite, Liquid Bundle 2) |
