multiple hard drives

Hey if i want to record on two, three, or even more drives
at the same time with vegas, how do I set this up? It seems
to me that the only way to set up where you wnat your audio
to go is by way of file-propeties-audio and then specify
which folder etc. But it doesn't let me select more than one
path if i am going to record more than one track. Is there a
way around this or am I missing something? Thanks in advance

This is not possible, as far as I know. You can only record to one
drive at a time. You have to designate this in the project properties.

You would likely need a RAID setup and controller in order to do
this ... and, even then, you would most likely be limited to your
current RAID configuration with regard to which drives were recorded
to ... IOW, you probably wouldn't have a great deal of choice in the
matter.

I am sure that you have a valid reason for wanting to do this ... but
it sure escapes me at the moment. :)

RAID setups technically record on multiple drives. But, it acts as
one logical drive. With RAID 0 you get double throughput, but no
redundancy. I plan to set up my new system this way to double disk
throughput. With RAID 1 and higher you get redundancy so if one of
your drives crash you still have all the information. It doesn't
improve performance much.

I can't for the life of me think why I would want to record to
multiple drives in the same project. I have always had the best luck
storing recordings in project specific files on the same drive, I
can't imagine what a nightmare wav. organization would be.

Q: If you were going to record 16 tracks for 90 minutes, how big
would your one hard drive have to be?

A:Very very very large.

This is why it would be nice to be able to specify a drive or
filename for each recorded track...
