That's a good point, Steve. I have backups of my system drive but not the
samples drive. That _would_ be a PITA to reinstall from DVDs.

DP is one of those pieces of software that you'd have to prise from my cold,

Hi Paul & Steve,
It sounds like I should take a close look at DP before investing in Logic. It
has become obvious to me, from all the responses, that a second drive is
necessary if for no other reason than to house the libraries.

Hi Paul,
I use DP too.. I may be alone in the UK in that..! I prefer it to Logic by far.
Your setup is not far from mine. I also rarely use convolution reverb because
it gains me nothing over my favourite Wave Arts reverb which can be
instantiated dozens of times with little processing hit.

Hi Nick & Steve,
I have an old Mac Pro ("1,1", 2 dual-core Xeon, 2.66 GHz) with a second
internal hard drive just for sample libraries. I don't do any sequencing in
Finale as I don't want to pay for mental health counseling. Sequencing is in

I'm not sure at the moment. I've been using Garritan and probably will
continue to use it, however, I know there are some other good sound libraries
out there, so I will have to investigate them and see what will work best for
me. It sounds like the issue lies more with space and that a second

Right no
Any idea which virtual orchestra?
As has been said, Finale with Garritan runs very lightly.
I run easy west symphonic orchestra gold and that runs best from an external
FireWire.
EWSI Platinum is best run from at least four separate drives for brass, wind,
strings and percussion as it uses mult
My concern right now is with virtual instruments rather than live recording. I
just want to ensure that whatever hardware I get, it will handle a full
orchestra of virtual instruments without hiccups due to lack of speed or space.

How many tracks are you likely to record at once?
My internal 4200rpm (as slow as they come) will record 16 tracks of 24/44
reliably.
I also use the MacBooks internal drive as my live rig playing rhodes, wurli,
piano, hammond, strings, brass..
all run as AUs inside Mainstage or DP.

Flash drives are way fast enough for recording, they just don't have a

A separate partition on the same drive won't help you, as the mechanism is the
same. You need a separate PHYSICAL drive on a different bus, and I understand
that you need certain minimum rotation speeds and search speeds. I may be wrong
here, but I think flash drives are not quick enough for aud
So the OS is on my computer hard drive and the imputed data is going to a
separate drive that doesn't impact the main computer (such as in flash drive)
similar to hard drive partition except that the second drive (partition) is
external?

Not really hard drive space.
More throughput. Recording to a different drive to the one running the OS.

I originally used Finale only for note setting and Opcode Vision for sequencing
but Vision went the way of the dinosaur. So I have been using Finale for both
purposes (unfortunately). My use of audio is generally for demos - virtual
tracks with no live recording (at least not now). Since I no
I just replaced a 2006 iMac that I was using in my studio. It could
record fine at 44.1khz. Never more than 20 tracks.
However, if you start throwing plugins into the mix, things started

the 13" is much lighter and takes up
This is conventional wisdom and very good advice.. but still depends on how
much you need to do at once.
My ageing MacBook has no problem recording 16 tracks or 24/44 to the internal
4200rpm drive.
External drives are so cheap though...

Logic for doing what? Recording? Virtual instruments?
Any Mac can do it, but if you are going to record audio or use a lot
of sample libraries, you'll want to tracks/record using a different
hard drive like a FireWire/usb2/thunderbolt drive. Using just one
drive for everything will drop your perfo
Finale will run on minimal specs. It's very light, even with Garritan playback.
I would concentrate on what is needed to run Pro Logic, which unfortunately I
can't advise you on.

Depends what you want to do.
I have one of the first intel MacBooks and that will run Finale with no probs
and record 24+ (probably very +) tracks of 24/44.1 audio and run a ton of large
sample libraries.
Unless you specifically need to do something more than this then anything you
