Looking at the spec's, it seems that model could have come with the (default) 256GB, or optional 512 or 1TB SSD configurations. 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.
