Hi,
Being new to Reason I need some tips on how best to optimise Reason. I am running on Mid-2015 Macbook Pro with 256GB SSD, 16GB RAM and have an external LaCie USB 3.0 2TB Drive connected also. What can I put where? For example can I store all patches and samples on the LaCie and will that impact performance etc?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Neil

Store your programs and Operating System on the SSD. Put the patches and stuff on the external drive.musicman wrote: ↑11 Aug 2017Hi,

Have no idea what version of OSX you're on, but you might find this guide useful:musicman wrote: ↑11 Aug 2017Hi,

I'd use that Lacie external to store patches, samples, song projects and keep everything self-contained in your song files, but make sure you have it backed up somewhere (either cloud or another external). Otherwise, you're inviting disaster at some undetermined point in the future.
Song projects will load noticeably faster from your SSD, though. But with such a small size, you could run out of room quick, so probably best to stick to that Lacie for data storage IMHO.
Keep your Reason cache file on the SSD, and frequently accessed projects/current projects should load pretty quick.

The OP isn't on Win10; he's on OSX. A 256 GB SSD is small by today's standards, but should be plenty big enought to handle OS updates. Windows 10 as well. The rule of thumb is: if you have a smaller SSD (or even old fashioned mechanical HDD), don't fill it up!

Always try to keep AT LEAST 10% free (20% is even better).if you have a smaller SSD (or even old fashioned mechanical HDD), don't fill it up!
