setting up Sonar x1 64bit on three storage drives

I just upgraded to Sonar x1 producer expanded and am wonder what files should go on which drives? I have the ssd c drive for the OS, programs and all vst dll. files, and two 1tb caviar blacks drive D and E. D is for the audio and E for sample libraries. Can someone give me a rundown on how to install specific Sonar folders to the right destination for optimal performance?

Just got Reaper, preapre for newb questions!

Hi all
I just got reaper and am feeling slightly overwhelmed by it all. I haveconnected my midi keyboard using the M-Audio 1x1 and installed the Asio4allthing that everyone talks about having (you can tell I have no idea what I'mtalking about!) and I have no sound. I tried assigning the reasynth the recordtrack and I still get nothing.

Adjusting multiple plugins at same time

Anyone know why in any of the daws i've used (DP, PTle, Audition2.0, Reaper, Ableton) it's not possible to adjust 2 different pluginsat the same time. For instance an eq feeding a compressor? i do this in a live/analog setting where say i may want to eq the say 10k on a vocal while adjusting the attack on an in series compressor.

De-essing a Choir

The room is really live with some wild hot spots. I did much better this year, I'm pretty happy with my recording but would love some help to be better on the sibilance now. These sss are impossible to take out. I could hear them live and know this is a common thing for choirs but I'm sure you guys can do better here. I ran a de-esser but can I do better. What tools do you use?
