Defraging my computer

Jesus!

A contiguous drive is crucial for top system performance! After all, it is the slowest component in your system. And the difference between fragmented and defragmented in speed is day and night. I mean, why does a fresh install of windows feel so zippy?

OK Ive gavered the problem!

When im working on a track say i have lots of midi parts on the go as well as audio well when im ready to get one of my midi parts off as audio I usually open another screen with nothing on it and copy my midi part out of my track and paste it in to my clean version for quallity reasons then record it off as audio then I copy the audio part then paste it back in to my project but I think when i defraged it last it must of moved it about a bit and like you say do a search for the file but when u record a part off it usually names it audio 001 or what ever it names it at but when i look for the missing file it brings up say 15 files named that part obviously coz Ive recorded it off and the computer names the part!! so is there a way of when u record it off to name the part instantly so when it searches for it next time I can find it instantly!!!


Does that make sense???

No... I'm pretty sure that you won't encounter this problem if you just stay in the same arrangement, if you understand what I mean.
I don't really understand your point about "getting better quality" by recording the single audio files from midi in another window. Quality of what? When I'm going to record my miditracks as audio I usually mute all the other tracks beside the one I wil rec, and an empty audio track of course. Then sometimes I switch the synth to single mode and record that particular track from single mode rather than multi, if that is what you mean with better quality...?
I think that whatever sequencer program you use, it's not mentioned to record the audio files otherwhere and then import them like you do. Then you'll just get problems like these, I guess...

Basicly i cut my midi part out of my track and do it in a fresh one because when im in the middle of a very large track i start getting stuttering problems with just the midi parts and they slightly stuter in terms of skiping notes and ect and is very noticable so I usualy paste it in fresh one for that reason. but yes i always do it in single mode too.

Strange... Exactly how many midi parts are you talking about. And are they full of controller midi data as well?

That's even stranger than strange...

Dou you use an old computer like a pentium I 100 Mhz or what? What soundcard. I've used about 30 tracks in some of my arrangements + audio and that works pretty fine. To be honest I really hate sequencing on computers since there's always problems of some kind. If I had your setup I would sure be crazy.

pentium 4. 512 ram . 3.06 process speed 120 gig harddrive

audiophile sound card.

4x4 midiman interface!


Oh and believe life would be so much easier if i could find out the cause!!!

Thanks for the help by the way
