I used Drive Copy 4.0 to copy the Dell’s 20 GB drive to a 40 GB drive and then installed the 20 GB drive as the secondary IDE drive. This gives me 60 GB of total disk space on my back up computer. I copied my client project files to the 20 GB secondary drive. I want that system to be ready in case my good computer dies on me again. It is pretty time consuming to get everything I need installed on a new computer so I’m only doing a few things a day.
I have discovered that my Shure SM58 microphone is not a good microphone to use with the PreSonus Firebox because it requires a lot of gain. I cannot boost the volume of the microphone without maxing out the pre-amps and introducing unacceptable amounts of noise. So I’ve ordered a Studio Projects B1 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone which was another $120.00.
