Does anyone use an independent drive for their sample libraries? I'm wondering if I can load those libraries on the same SSD that I use for recording projects if it is large enough. Or should I dedicate the recording drive for recording activity only?

Thanks to all for the continuing conversation. I'm learning a lot here. :)

Thanks for all the replies. I don't need the external drive to be portable. My older spinning drive will only be used for backups so I will turn it off during recording. Thanks for the advice! I think i will go for an SSD for the recording drive - - - and still thinking about the RAID 1 option.

I am upgrading my home studio (StudioOne 4.5, Faderport 8, Apogee 88 and a new iMac with 32 GB RAM, internal 512 GB SSD, Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.0. Can you provide me specs for a suitable external recording drive for small projects (10 to 15 tracks with a few software plugins)? Specifically...

Very natural sounding - which is what I like from recording an acoustic. Was the reverb the natural ambiance of the room or did you use a plug-in?

Thanks for your suggestion. I contacted the Jammer folks with some questions but they have not responded. Do you know if their software is Windows only? I use a Mac system.

Besides Band-in-a-Box, is there another MIDI software environment that will accept chord/bass names (i.e., C-Dm7-Gsus4-G-C) and allow assignment of specific sounds. What about ProTools (or a plugin for ProTools). I use version 8 on a Mac. Thanks in advance for your input. Jerry C.

Thanks for the responses. Talontsiawd and others: I use the DigiDesign SoftSynth within ProTools. Is the M-Audio brand a better choice since they have a relationship with DigiDesign? Or does it make any difference? How important is aftertouch? I know the Axiom has it but some of the less...

Things have changed since I last was into MIDI (about 10 years ago). What are the functions of all the knobs, faders, encoders, etc. that adorn so many of the mid- to upper-priced controllers on the market today? Thanks in advance for enlightening me.

lThe mixer is input into the 002 inputs 5-6. But I had the same problem going into inputs 1-2 or 3-4. The 002 output is to powered monitors.

Using TRS cable I have connected the balanced main outputs of my Carvin SM162 analog mixer to balanced line inputs on the Digi 002 (set to +4 dBu input level). If I set the fader on the Digi 002 input channel to unity I get this fluttering noise that builds quickly to clipping. This occurs even...
