Can anyone enlighten me to the read writes of mixcraft, or any DAW for that matter? I don't fully understand "where" my clips and all the overdubs are at while recording. In RAM? (I do know when I save - obviously that is a write to drive).
Reason for asking -
I am upgrading my main SSD (c:) in my pc. In the process I thought by moving MX and all of my music files (songs) to a non-root drive it would possibly save on Read/Writes. Am I out in left field?
FWIW I do backup to a secondary as well as an external SSD daily.
Thanks for thoughts, as always.

Hi,
See the "Default Project Folder" setting in Project preferences for Mixcraft 10 (or Recording preferences for Mixcraft 9).
If you change that setting, make sure you choose a valid, writeable folder.

Thanks Greg, I should clarify my question.Acoustica Greg wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2024 11:59 am Hi,

During the actual recording takes, but prior to actually "saving" to a folder, where is the data? In Ram?
I guess a simpler question is should MX ideally be on the root drive or does it make little difference.
Thanks a million!

Hi,
The audio buffers are in RAM, yes. Mixcraft buffers audio in RAM until it can write it to the hard drive.
If your C: drive is a reliable SSD drive, that should work well.
