ABSTRACT
Drive management was so much more difficult then--only a couple of terabyte drives at our disposal. The traditional two-dimensional thinking had gone as far as it could. With very few exceptions, those individuals who truly understand digital applications and can work software proficiently do not necessarily make artistically talented sound artists. Think of the nonlinear audio workstation as a digital Moviola, a digital synchronizer, a digital Rivas splicer, and all the other audio tools used by sound craftspeople through the decades since Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. A reason that user's manuals are seemingly impossible to read and understand is that they are written with the supposition that people are a computer-techie who already knows how to use computers or basic software. Developing good disk management technique and discipline goes a long way toward helping others, should the need arise.
