Hi,
I'm in some real need of advice on how to set up my PC for maximizing
performance using Pro Tools(w/ MBox) and Vegas for audio/video
recording and editing.
I've got a Dell(WindowsXP, Dual Core, 320GB Performance RAID 0 (2 x
160GB SATA HDDs).


I also use apps like Office/Photoshop/Flash/Visual Studio, etc for
miscellaneous stuff, but will mostly use it for audio recording/editing

with Pro Tools, and some video.


I just need advice on how to partition/configure my hard drive(s)
space. Where do I put the apps, audio/video files, etc. Any 'best
practices' out there that people can share with me??


Thanks in advance!
 
If RAID is set up correctly,just run the regular xp set up with formatting
each
drive,multiple partitions aren't needed.If you have lots of video/audio
files,
install a IDE hd with at least 7200 rpm,use that for youre files.If youre
computer runs intel components,download the software from intel for RAID.
What are PRO Tools...All one needs for recording audio/video is windows
encoder.
