Hello Pierre
Are you using Layla for both Vegas and Acid at the same time?
I do run Vegas and Acid at the same time but Vegas uses the MOTU-2408
and Acid uses Darla. As far as HD you have a good system you should
be able to get up to 80mb per sec.I do run a SCSI drive just for
audio because if your main drive C dumps on you, all of your audio
file are still good to go.I lost most of my first Acid loop CD
because of NOT having a audio drive,Yes you can back it up to CDR's
but that a lot of CD's because of every time you make a change.Hope
this helps
