thomaswhudson Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I have a nice laptop I7 quad, 8 gigs of ram and just put a 250 gig ssd drive in it. What is the most effecient setup for recording? Currently i have a 500 gig external drive hooked up but i think its only 5400 rpm. Should i just find a 7200 rpm ext drive and call it a day? I am using the line 6 hd500x as my sound device currently and have no need to record live drums at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fflbrgst Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 If you're only recording (at most) 2 simultaneous tracks at a time the 5400rpm drive shoudl be fine for you. What DAW are you running. Some people prefer to run their DAW from an external drive, but I have never bothered. I back up my files from my hard drive to USB drives.
