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) |

Sorry that this isn't answering your question, but I'm getting a similar machine and I have some questions in a similar vein. Maybe they can all be answered here. So, in addition to what gets installed where, I'm wondering how many user accounts to set up. Is it better to have one user that is strictly administrative and then set up another for recording? Yet another for any other uses (email, web stuff, etc?) Then, install apps from administrator account, or from account in which the apps will be used? I hope these questions don't ruin your thread, but I thought they seemed related.
