Steenamaroo's question about how much storage capacity (or not) you have on your MBP is the first one. Anyone have a similar setup with something that works? When I go into my "studio", I just want to plug the Mac in, hook up the interface and external drive and get to work. I found a thread from 2014 that was sort of related, but that was 2014.Īnyway, sorry for the longwinded post. I've been at this for a couple of days and haven't found much information about this specific situation.

Will this drive work for me? My head hurts. I also don't know if it can charge and do music at the same time. Having gotten this far, Western Audio says the drive will charge compatible laptops. If I have my interface and an external drive, I need that external drive to charge while it's receiving the recordings and loading samples to and from the Mac.Īnyway, I've only found one that says it charges while in use: I've read I should put all my projects and 3rd party sound libraries on the external drive and keep software and all Logic's stuff on the Mac. I couldn't pass up an IK Multimedia campaign and now have tons of sample libraries and have been reading that I should be using an external hard drive. I recently bought Logic Pro X and have been mainly recording rock songs with guitars, bass, vocals, and drum loops. I have a 2016 MacBook Pro with two Thunderbolt 3 inputs, 250 gigs of storage. Hoping everyone is safe and sound these days.
