Explainable Low Hard Drive Space

Hey guys, sorry if this is a repost in some form... I got Final Cut Studio 2 a few months ago and installed it on a newly wiped hard drive on my MBP. It took up around 55GB of space, and on top of that I have about 24GB dedicated to all my music. Beyond that the only program that could be using up a substantial amount of disc space is iWork...my question is, I don't understand why I only have 3-5GB of free space out of 111. Any ideas of folders or anything I can clean out to open up some extra space? It's really hindering my ability to do any of my video projects.

I appreciate the help, thanks guys!

Roughly OS X will take 10GB or so.

Broke down like this;
FCP - 55GB
Music - 24GB
OS X - 10GB~

Roughly left over - 22GB.

Not far off really...

Did you install iLife as well?

Hm, I guess you're right. I didn't put iLife on though, I'm just having difficulty pinpointing where the extra space went to...

it does still show your missing some space, but give Disk Inventory X a shot, it will break down where the space is going to.

got iPhoto, iTunes etc? all come preinstalled.

Don't forget that iTunes automatcally makes a copy of your music in it's library.
Another 24gb gone.
