I've been a bad, bad boy! I've had Logic for a few months and I haven't optimized my rig for the best performance. I'd love to drop in another gig of ram upgrade my HD to a 320g 7200 in the MM but I'm a bit antsy of screwing up and having NOTHING (but my coughPC!!) and....Until I can afford a Mac Pro I've decide to not go with anymore stop gaps (that's what the MM was) when I can invest in something I can use that's very useable.
on that note...... the MM is okay...butbeside the ram and CPU limitations I'm postive my HD is dragging down the performance. I had the HD cleared out to have about 20g free. I'm down to below ten now and I need to clear it out again or find another method such as using my external drive.
herein lies my question(s).
I understand Logic needs to be on the boot drive (the internal)
1.Can I write to and read projects to/from an external HD?
2.Since the 250g HD is USB2 and FW can I use it USB?
3.If I have to use the FW port the Mini only has one (400).The Inspire ( I wish it was.......Duet coming soon!!) is FW so there goes that port but can I daisy chain them?( I haven't tried yet)
4.What's the optimum order?
5.I have a small library( a few gigs) of samples for Kontakt.Should it go on the ex HD also?
6.Can my plugs(Komplete) be on the ex HD?
7.Can my apple loops be on the ex HD?
8. What's the meaning of life?????
Thanks for any help....especially #8
