Any pitfalls to moving to new PC??
Posted: 02 Apr 2024
Hi there,
So it looks like the PC I use for running Reason 11 has developed a minor issue on the mother board, which I can work around easily, but it has prompted me to think about upgrading….
Hoping someone with experience of this can answer a few questions - apologies if it’s been covered before, I couldn’t find any relevant posts by searching…
So my main concern is wether it’s going to be a PITA to move my existing projects over to a new PC…
I use a lot of self generated Rex files, all of which are in a folder on Google drive. Presumably every time I open a project with one of these files in it on the new PC I will need to go and find the file again??
Also is it likely to cause issues with samples/files built into reason if the file path is not exactly the same on the new PC??
Wanted to avoid cloning PC as its bad practice - can transfer software issues from old to new…
On a side note, what are people going for these days in terms of processor/ram? Currently running an old i5 and 8gb ram - all seems to run well
Any useful advice would be much appreciated
