Hi guys,
Currently I am working in a recording studio that has 3 different rooms. Sometimes it becomes a pain when we have to transfer a session from one room to another room. So lately I've been thinking if it would be a possibility to have all sessions stored in one location and can be worked on and accessed from over the ethernet in the building, rather than transferring sessions all over the place. This causes multiple copies of the same sessions and creates a mess.
In the studio, all the computers are OSX.
What do you think would be the best way to go about this? A file server or a NAS setup? I would like all the computer to be able to access the work files, open them and work on them from within the location anywhere in the studio without creating multiple copies.
My only concern is the Pro Tools won't be able to read the files fast enough and error out. But I'm wondering if a Gigabit connection would work.
Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks!
