Success !!

Multiple single and dual platter HDD's that contain pre configured content works significantly better.

I just finished re doing the 3 Raptors where I have taken the time to catagorise them more efficiently.

It works better when I spread the content around. For example, some of my string and horn section libraries contain several different libraries. So having those heavily used multi library performances spread out like this:

First Call Horns D Drive
Chris Hein Horns E Drive
Quantum Leap Brass F Drive

The app just works so much better as I stacked and stacked and never got a glitch. On the single drive approach they would have crashed the app or gagged. Even the way I had them before, just paced wherever was in efficient. This approach is sound, and well worth the time and hassle.

I get to do it again next week too.

Would this approach also work with pre recorded tracks in Cubase ?

Say you have 128 tracks of MIDI and 128 tracks of audio. Could you spread the content to different drives?

Sorry if this gets something else going, I shall take my verbal thrashings in exchange for quality information. :D
