In this video James is once again joined by Rich from Create Pro for a feature length video on how to reinstall your Mac OS from scratch to achieve the coveted "clean system install". Rich and James take you through the processes of backing up your system drive. Then creating a new bootable backup before moving on to creating a clean system drive and a clone of your fresh drive to protect you from having to go back to square one if you need to reinstall again.  This is a long video but some subjects can not be cut short, the aim is to have a super fast Pro Tools computer.

Two of the very handy tools that James and Rich use in this video are Carbon Copy Cloner and Disk Maker X.

Follow these instructions and you could be running a smooth clean version of Mac OS for your DAW in no time.
