Hi all, Just a quick question? Does the speed of the drive play a roll in all the factors? -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Phil Halton Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2007 12:36 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: new portable harddrive folder structure question Bob, I simply move the entire CakeWalk Projects folder over to the new drive and change the location in Sonar's global options\folders dialog to point to the new audio drive. I think there's 3 settings that I changed in the global options dialog, 2 in the folders tab, and 1 on the audio data tab. They are the settings for the projects folder, the import/export folder, and under the audio data tab, there's a setting for default audio folder as well. check it out under global options--its fairly self-explanatory. BTW: what kind of drive did you get, and did you format it for audio(cluster size of 64K instead of the windows default of 4K)? I guess the formatting isn't all that important--it supposedly only helps matters when the drive approaches its full capacity(at least that's what tech support at my vendor told me) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Reid Info" <info@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2007 3:06 PM Subject: [ddots-l] new portable harddrive folder structure question > Thanks again to those of you who advised me what to do about dropouts etc. > I now have a 300 gig portable harddrive and before I start moving things > around, I would like to know what most of you prefer to do.
