RX2 has many modules, all with PT compatibility, with one for noise reduction, with a learning mode. The spectral display of RX2 is magic to fix up audio. I especially like the Spectral Repair module to just transparently obliterate incidental noises. RX2 Advanced even has azimuth alignment correcti...

Pure analog is just too much detail for our body communication systems to deal with, so they encode it digitally in a more compact form right at the eyes and ears. Basically, we just need to build our audio and video systems to be subliminal to our bodies' systems to resolve. Remind you of something...

One of the criticisms of using SSDs for OS drives was that all the little writes to the page file (disk cache of 'resting' programs and data to free up RAM) would blow the lifecycles of blocks. Well, MS telemetry data (what the machines report) is that page file accesses consist of lots of little re...

@oceanblood SSDs are fully random, with no head travel time required, so theoretically, if you do not have a lot of audio, you could have projects and OS on one drive. Use separate partitions and if you are using Windows, you can format the OS partition with default 4KB sectors and the projects driv...

I long for the day Pro Tools can be told to write data on two separate hard drives at once. There are eSATA RAID1 external cases. Put a couple of SSDs in one and it should keep up. If your system does not have eSATA, just get a SATA to eSATA adaptor cable. Use one with hot-swap drives to be able to...

It's a given that one must have multiple copies of any data. The problem comes down to: 1. How often the various copies are synchronised. 2. How quickly a copy can be retrieved. The optimal -- and most expensive -- are: 1. Simultaneous writing. 2. 'Instant' failover. A related issue is how secure on...

- Only 4Kb blocks can be erased at a time. - Changes to data cannot be overwritten, but is rather written as ?new? data - Blocks can (and usually do) have cells that are not used thus wasting ?space? Wear ? only a certain amount of write/erases can be performed before data corruption Longevity ? SS...
