Greetings guys ! Been a while.
Since my return, taking the upgrade plunge to HDX soon. And currently upgraded my Laptop to Standard PT12.
Anyway, had some questions.
Drives.... back when I last was in effect (HD Accel 7), it was highly suggested by Digidesign to get maximum track count, you have to run multiple drives just for your sessions. (not including library, mix, and OS drives)
They used to have a chart about achieving maximum track counts in a HD environment, it was mandatory you used several drives just for tracking, as it was more efficient.
As a matter of fact, you could not achieve the advertised maximum track count unless you used this method (for HD).
How it used to be, was you had to have around 6 drives just for the tracking (then more for libraries, mixes, and obviously one for the Apps and OS). I was running a 10 drive set up !
So for example, in my 10 drive set up, I had 6 dedicated JUST for the tracking. And I would assign Playback and Record like this:
Track 1—>Drive 1
Track 2—>Drive 2
Track 3—>Drive 3
Track 4—>Drive 4
Track 5—>Drive 5
Track 6—>Drive 6
-------------------------
Track 7—>Drive 1
Track 8—>Drive 2
Track 9—>Drive 3
Track 10—>Drive 4
Track 11—>Drive 5
Track 12—>Drive 6
-------------------------
Track 13—>Drive 1
Track 14—>Drive 2
Track 15—>Drive 3
Track 16—>Drive 4
Track 17—>Drive 5
Track 18—>Drive 6
And so on and so on. This provided the ultimate efficiency. So now since I can not find that info anywhere, I ask, does or does not Avid still recommend using several drives for tracking to achieve the maximum track counts in a HD environment for better efficiency/results ? Or, can I use 1 session drive for a 256 track session with tons of Plugs, etc.. and experience no problems or efficiency issues at all ?
Also, similar. Digidesign used to have a chart of qualifying/recommended Drives and/or Drive companies. (Glyph, Chipsets, etc..). Again, no where on the site is this information found anymore. So is there or is there not the "go to" drive company in the industry still ?
I imagine maybe with the way drives are now, thunderbolt 2, SSD, etc.. that maybe its as simple as any and all drives work equally now ?
Thanks for any info -
