Hard Drive set-up / ideal config. for S.ware & Audio

ICN · Post by **ICN** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 11:00 pm

Hello all,

I've been trying to figure out what the best set-up is for using 2 250gb Hard Drives in my computer. Apologies if I explain it badly..

I have managed to figure out that having the "Operating System" such as XP / Vista / Tiger etc.. on one drive works best, and then storing all of your audio on the other.

I'm confused as to what would work best with 2 App's like Live and Reason..

Because the "OS" is on Drive 1 - Do you install the actual Live or Reason full program on Drive 2?

Or is the idea to have the software installed on the same drive as the "OS" (Drive 1)?

and then to have your sample library, such as Live Packs and Refills stored on the Drive 2?

Dont get me started on partitoning!! My head is melted! Hahaha!

Any of your valuable advice would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

J

Found out from a good w/site.. If anyones interested.

Why (2) two hard drives for recording ?

Quote:
"Which drive do I install my programs to ?

The operating system and all other programs MUST go on the one drive leaving the second drive free 100% for files that are recorded and played by the software. So in most computer c: will have the windows installation and all the programs like cubase, logic, protools ect and the only thing on the second drive will be the WAV files and the projects saved file that you open in your software. Other files which are created on the second drive when recording are meant to be there as well. So a good rule to follow is if the file is created when you record it should be on the 2nd disk."

Cool as Fuck..
