I'm not sure either. I only have one drive, and I've not noticed anything bad. Sent from my iPhone On 3 Jan 2013, at 13:54, Krister Ekstrom wrote: > Ahem, not sure i catch your drift there. How is your setup? My thought was to > dedicate an external drive for PT and the operating system, but

You may even be able to resize without formatting. I'm sure that's what I did. Sent from my iPhone On 3 Jan 2013, at 21:53, Slau Halatyn wrote: > Hi Krister, > > OK, use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to clone your > internal drive to the external drive. To be truly diligen

Hi Krister, OK, use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to clone your internal drive to the external drive. To be truly diligent, it would be best to make yet a third copy onto some other drive as well since you'll be erasing the original internal drive. If you really, truly wanted

Hi, again many thanks. Time for next stupid newby question: How would one go about formating an internal drive in the way you suggest on the Mac? Isn't there a risk that i lose all data on my 1 tb internal drive or that apps installed now won't work after formating? I can back up everything, i t

Hi Krister, While that setup will technically work, your internal drive will become fairly fragmented over time. Again, it'll work but I'm not sure if it'll be adequate. If you're just doing a few tracks for fairly small projects, I suppose it'll suffice. One other thing to consider is that mos

Hi and thanks for the tip. I'm more and more leaning towards the following setup: External 1 TB drive as bootup with system and PT on it and my internal drive as a media drive. Would that be advisable? Sorry for asking similar sounding questions, i just wanna be sure i'm doing the right thing. P

Hi Krister, The makers of Pro Tools have always recommended using a separate drive for media and advise not using the boot-up drive. That doesn't mean Pro Tools won't work. It'll record fine for limited numbers of tracks with few plug-ins and relatively short lengths. The more you use the inte

Ahem, not sure i catch your drift there. How is your setup? My thought was to dedicate an external drive for PT and the operating system, but do i need another disk for the recordings? Can i not use the internal one for that, or is there a problem with that? /Krister 3 jan 2013 kl. 14:30 skrev

either the partitioning of the internal drive to have 2 versions of OSX or running it off an external drive. but remember pro tools will want another separate physical drive for recording thats not the drive with the OS on it. So if you go the External HD route for Lion, you will i believe still

Hi folks. This week i'll probably get my protools with MBox bundle. My situation will be a bit on the odd side, you see i'm running an IMac with Mountain lion v10.8.2 and i don't want to downgrade, however something in PT is broken under Mountain lion which means i can't use PT as far as i under
