Macbook Pro 10.4.10 (Tiger) external firewire drive set up

[solodky]

The salesman told me everyone records with an external HD on the Macbook pro 2 Gig Ram (5400 rpm internal drive)..I so I got the Glyph firewire 400 external drive (500Gig), Now I want to make sure I am recording on the external drive.. I have the following folders set up:

Library path and Temp folder to Glyph

ableton LIve 6.0.7 installed on Internal Mac HD
Plug-in folder is default internal Mac HD

I save Sets to internal Mac hd becos If I save to Glyph there is NO project folder and all recorded audio files from different sets are jammed together in one folder..

so My question is.. am I using my external drive to the best of it's set up ability?

I hope to be able to record 16 audio tracks at once using a Mackie onyx 1640 firweire.

save your projects on the harddisk, but outside of the library. Then you should have a a nice project folder with your recordings in project*name*/samples/recorded/
