Very new here. And new to the idea of cutting my own guitar parts at home. I purchased a decent AIO computer a bit ago. Windows 11,Intel i7 processor, 32GB of RAM, 4GB graphics card but only one internal 1TB SSD HDD. If I could go back and change anything, I would have gotten on with two HDD's. My question is if I partition the current drive to have the OS run on one partition, will it improve performance? The computer does not have a Thunderbolt connection. I'm assuming an external drive would not have the speed needed to track smoothly to it but as I said, I'm very new to this. I record in several studios and they keep telling me I can do my tracks at home and just send those to them. That's my goal here. I will be using a Kemper direct to my interface. Will I be ok tracking with the single drive? Do I need to partition it? I probably will anyway. I will still use an external drive for storage of course and back up to the cloud. Any insights would be great at this point. Old musicians trying to keep up with the younger crowd.
