I've heard it's good to make a seperate hard drive or use a divider or something for all your music apps. because it frees up memory and makes your computer go faster. wheeee! How do you do this? I'm pretty new to mac's and maybe a little ignorant about computers in general. Thanks in advance.

Having a separate drive for your audio files from your applications is a good idea. It won't really make your computer go faster however it will increase your track count slightly and will make your system/application drive less fragmented.
For the separate drive you will obviously need to buy one.  What sort of mac do you have? You can buy a firewire or IDE or SCSI. If you have newer mac the first 2 are preferable. If you have an iBook or tibook the firewire option is the one for you. If you only have one drive and want to partition it you will need to re-format your drive. i.e. if you do this you will lose all data that you have on your drive so you should back everything up first. Once formatted and partitioned you will need to reinstall the System Software and all your programs. If you can be bothered to do this here are the details. 1. Back-up everything. 2 Start up computer from System Disk (hold down the 'C' key while you start up the computer). 3. Run the program "Drive Setup" from your System Disk. 4. Click 'Initialize' then click 'custom setup' 5. You now have the choice to set the number of partitions and their sizes. |
