She could sit on my fa .......... car any day!!
Yep. Best to let the system(C) drive handle the Operating System tasks, and send the audio capture grunt work to the external drives. Don’t forget to configure the pathway in Reaper’s settings…preferences…whatever. Drive space is cheap these days, and ram isn’t used for audio capture much…ram is used more for virtual instruments, and effects.Last night I went to add lead vox to my reggae poo-pile. It was actually gonna be the performance of a lifetime. Got one verse in, singin like my life depended on it... oh man, it was GOOD!!! Soul, heart, emotion all rolled up into an intensely dramatic performance. Probably Grammy-worthy.
But, suddenly, mid-chorus the screen froze up. Had to hard crash out. Computer no larger started up. 5 beeps and a flashing red LED. SONOFA!!
I really didn't think my vocal was quite that bad. But, our digital overlords seemed to disagree
Crawled way back under and in behind my DAW desk. Unhooked the rats nest of cables, opened the box, all near clean as a whistle inside. Reseated the RAM. Still NO GO. Green light flash for one second... C:drive tries to fire, then fails. Repeat.
Luckily, I had a spare win7 machine here, used mostly for gaming, my son had it loaded up with Steam and all his programming crap and graphics programs before he went to the Linux darkside. However, he did have an old version of Reaper installed in it too so that was handy.
I was able to slip it in... it's a bigger box but quieter. Spent the evening 'til the wee hours installing, ASIO, MT Drums, LAME, a bunch of other crap I use. Then, all that configuring. Quite a lot of troubleshootin',searching internet "how to's" ...all that jazz.
I fear I have now lost all my old Reaper files, seven or eight years worth in that old box. No big loss, not a lot of top 5 hits on there anyway.
Kept telling myself I'd go back and tweak up those old projects... never ever did. Damn thing did a surprise Windows update last week... thought I had shut those down. I let 'em happen and didn't roll them back. Seems pretty suspicious.
Replacement DAW is now operational as of lunchtime. New old Box has twice the ram, so I figure I can get another six or seven tracks with this thing... watch out fellas LOL!
Must thank @Thatbastarddon for spurring me move to recording my new sound clips and saving project files to an external hard drive recently. That kind of saved my bacon here, as all those bits remained safe.
Thank you. Hope I can bring something to the table on time for both…reggae….questionable…but possible.
Backup backup backup... it's possible some disc software might let you get the files outta that old drive. Perhaps just a windows crash? Hook it up to other puter and set BIOS to run from current drive? Worth a shot...Last night I went to add lead vox to my reggae poo-pile. It was actually gonna be the performance of a lifetime.

You are so killing this game
Yep. I have a few older 1 TB and an 8 TB. Band video files are huge!
It's a leap year, you'll be fine lol
Actually I'm not even sure. I was talking external as in portable hardware types. I have OneDrive but don't use it. Last I remember MS said they were going to close it.
