Hardware/Software Set-Up Discussion


 * Hard Drives - what type of file system do you use when recording audio? do you use the same drive that your operating system is on? is it a seperate partition on the same drive? is it SATA or PATA? SSD? SCSI? what kind of performance do you get? what kind of performance are you expecting? do you record stereo 16-bit? or 16 channels at 32-bit float?


 * 32 or 64 - what experiences do you have using 64bit and/or 32bit OSes or software... which works better for your hardware configuration or workflow and why?


 * custom repos? - do you use custom repositories with your distro of choice?... do you build everything from source?... for you, what works? what does not? why?
