Pro Audio 9 MB Space

[Faust]

It says I'm operating at 39% at the bottom of the screen. I know this is bad because I don't remember it ever being this low. What's the minimum I should run Pro Audio 9 at? Any suggestions on how to free up some space?

1. Get bigger HD... If you run single HD, add second one is better option
2. Save unused files and burn to CD. You have CDRW drive, don't you?
3. Use Cakewalk Audio Finder:

ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Patches/Cakewalk/CWAF33.exe

to safely delete unused wave files which might took up space in your HD.

I think 0% is the lowest you can go...

You shouldn't run into any problems (performance-wise), unless you reach 5-6%... But a little extra won't hurt.

One extra thing - If you have many wave files that aren't linked to a .wrk file (and be sure you don't need them - sometimes you might want to keep em), you can delete them through Cakewalk using "Clean Audio Disk" (under Tools?)

I did that today and I found myself 9GB better off

If you use CWAF, these files are marked "Orphaned"...

I'm a CWAF newbie Only tried it first time today. Looking good though

The percentage is not really what's relevant, at least not directly. The actual amount of free space is what matters. 39% just says that about sixty percent of your drive is free space. If you have a 30 GB drive, this is about 20GB, which is lots of room. I would only worry if there were getting to be something on the order of 1 GB of free space as far as worrying if there's so little room you might impact the operation of your applications...
