Thanks to all for your help so far. A couple more entry-level questions here:
1. I'm running Pro Tools and VSL on a 4GB laptop. I am aware this is not the ideal way to do it, and I want to improve my setup soon. I often get little popping noises - disruptions in the sound. Can I eliminate this problem and improve general performance by putting my sample library on an external drive connected via firewire? Or is it a lot better to have a slave computer running Vienna Ensemble?
2. If I were to move my samples (for now just SE plus Upright Bass), can I simply move the folder from my laptop's drive to the external drive, or do I have to do an actual installation process?
Regards,
Kevin
