Hi all,
Just a quick question? Does the speed of the drive play a roll in all the
factors?

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)
