Re: [L-OT] drive recommendation for Audio

Sorry, I menat to add that you should really have two drives if you do a lot
of audio recording/playback. One for system and the other for your audio
data. SO in short I would recommend a smaller, maybe slower (certainly
cheaper!!) drive for your system drive and the larger faster (ie. costly!!)
drive for your data.

Incidentally I did a test a while back with my lowly three year old Maxtor
drive and I could record and then playback 32+ tracks at the same time!!
(most of them silence) The drive sounded under duress so I decided I should
not continue, but all has been fine since.

This has been covered ad nauseum in this list somewhere, you might check the
archives (I cant access them at the moment as I lost my YahooID again...),
plus unfortunately I know jack about Macs having never used one - dont know
what I'm missing, but then again <flamebait on> I dont know the problems I
might have to deal with either ;) </flamebait off>
