Re: [EXS] Giga conversion file locations

2003-04-26 by Ned Bouhalassa

Sean,

IMHO, you should not store your audio files in the same place as your 
System. Do you know about partitioning your hard-drive? You can divide your 
hd into individual sections or partitions. This will keep your System 
fairly clean, uncluttered, which will reduce the chance of fragmentation (a 
process which can eventually 'confuse' your system or any partition, for 
that matter).

My advice, if you can afford it, is to get a separate hard-drive for all 
your audio needs. They're really not expensive anymore. Get an 80 gig or 
something, divide it into 4 x 20 gig partitions (or whatever size you 
like), and install Logic on one of them. All your Giga/AKAI/EXS sample 
files can sit in your Logic folder, and the other partitions can be for 
your mixes, and video stuff, etc.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
