On the pc side, are all VSTs, including sample libraries, VST hosts like GP, opened and run inside of a DAW like FL Studio? I already had these apps on my i7, 7200 Asus, but my HDD has only 80 gb available. I bought an SSD ext drive.
The problem may be that I got the cart before the horse, in that I should have the libraries in the SSD and the programs in the pc. Now I have an empty exterior drive and limited capacity remaining on the Asus.

To be realistic, I have 4gb RAM, but won't be loading 16 tracks with effects that would max it out. If I put a DAW in the Asus, does it matter where the libraries reside. I am just trying to look ahead before I get into a real mess.
