project location

Post by weaselxr »

Is it best to run projects on the program drive or an external drive? I have the new Mac Pro, but the internal program drive isn't too big. If the external drive and connection (thunderbolt) is fast enough, is that the most efficient way to do it?

Thanks

Yes.

It´s usually recommended to run your DP projects in a different disk, for a few different reasons.
Mac Mini Server i7 2.66 GHs/16 GB RAM / OSX 10.14 / DP 9.52
Tascam DM-24, MOTU Track 16, all Spectrasonics' stuff,
Vienna Instruments SUPER PACKAGE, Waves Mercury, slaved iMac and Mac Minis running VEP 7, etc.
