Hello folks,

I have an mbox/protools LE hooked up to an emac on system 10.3.9. I
recently bought a 160gig Lacie firewire drive.

Is there a way to use that drive as the record audio volume for pro
tools work?

Try it and see. While in PTLE go to the menu and select the drive you want
the audio to go to. It'll probably be better than trying to do sessions all
one one drive, provided the LaCie is a 7200 rpm drive. It might even work if
it's 5400 rpm.

There are some formatting concerns which I came across when I upgraded from
OS 9 to OS 10 using ProTools. I had to move my audio sessions off the drive
and reformat the drive. There was an option which I think was "turn
journaling off" when I re-formatted the drives. After I did this any 7200
RPM drive worked fine.

You might want to also partition the drive in 40GB chunks to cut down on
seek time. Noone likes the -9073 errors....

Hey ty,

Thanks for the response. I tried to open a session on this firewire
drive and the message said a session must be on an audio record volume
and wouldn't let me put any audio on it.

Reformat the drive and it'll work.
