In this scenario, using your USB drive as both session and sample library would probably be fine The G-Tech drive has a cap of 560 MBps (roughly 4.5 Gbps). The WDD Black has a cap of 150 MBps (roughly 1.2 Gbps). HOWEVER, the drives themselves are the limit, not the pipe (in this case). Thank you!Part of your answer is understanding that, theoretically, your bandwidth on the USB 3.1 Type C connector is 10 Gbps, and SATA3 is 6 Gbps. G-Tech ev ATC using Thunderbolt 2 connectionĪny thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Even if people want to share their hard drive setup and what works best for them. Thank you!Ģ Drive for Samples and Virtual Instruments both WD Caviar Black Drives To some up everything, would switching to external drives for sessions and sample libraries be fast enough compared to the internal WD Black hard drives I'm using now.Īny thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Even if people want to share their hard drive setup and what works best for them. Would this be powerful enough to run omnisphere on and other large virtual instruments?
ELLIOT LABS SYNCTHING PRO
Since I’m plugging into a Mac Pro 2010 I’m using USB 3.0 speeds and can’t use the Thunderbolt 2 connection. Im just worried that running say the R-Series G-Tech drive on USB3.0 will not be quick enough. That way I have only one and not two mediums I'm constantly trying to keep in sync. So ideally id be using an external to move between my laptop and main computer using the samples and virtual instruments that I want to use on both computers. Its doable but doesnt seem like the ideal workflow as I’m always having to transfer sessions rather than just working off of the same drive and keeping things organized. If I do some edits on my laptop I then have to copy and overwrite the now old session on my main computer to continue working.
Im wondering if I can run an external drive on my main mac and still have the same speed or be able to handle large sessions like I do with the internal drive. Its very time consuming keeping my external drive and main drive in sync and up to date.
Same for many other synths and virtual instruments that I create custom presets or new audio samples for.
ELLIOT LABS SYNCTHING UPDATE
For example, whenever I update custom presets on Omnisphere I have to then export them or transfer the STEAM folder to keep the mobile drive updated. Whenever I update my sample library on my main computer I then have to transfer the files onto my laptops external drive. On my laptop I’m running PT12 as well and my sessions and samples on 2 external drives. Im running Pro Tools 12 HDX and have no problem running sessions with 100’s of tracks. I have a great setup on my main Mac Pro 12 Core working on all internal drives. Even sharing how you manage to work between the two would be helpful.
Hi everyone, Im looking to simplify my workflow regarding hard drives and sample storage between two computers.Īny advice, tips, and or recommendations on producing between two computers (Main Studio computer, and a mobile laptop) would be greatly appreciated.
