Spinning beach ball in Logic X

So this is a Mojave thing ?

only using one monitor,

the last few times this happened, I was t using many plug ins, nor were they heavy duty plug ins.

i can certainly try recording Audio to the internal drive, thank you for this :-)

Good point,

i have Sierra on my mbp, I may just give it a try, I don’t really care about the next version of Logic honestly.

if Logic x is stable on this machine with Sierra, then I’m a happy camper :-)

Then again, a read somewhere years ago that everyone who records music to their computer back in the day always used separate drives for libraries and audio, but as time went on these computers got so fast that there wasn’t a need to do that anymore and in fact it was better for your computer to not have external drives working along with your main computer?

im going to try just using my 1tb internal drive.

my recording sessions can get a bit large on occasion, but not usually:-)

Another point I thought of...

my internall ssd is 1tb,

if I add my library to that, I would have roughly 500gb’s free.

but now you add all the audio I record ?

after a song is finished I could always remove the audio to another external drive, then erase the audio that’s there, but I hear erasing ssd drives isn’t always a great idea ?

im dizzy, there’s so many ways to do this lol

i honestly wasn’t having major problems to start, I just thought that with my computers specs I should be getting that beach ball with just logic x working.

so maybe I could install Sierra and still keep the externals working with my main computer?

never had an issue until Mojave

Now I’m having a tough time getting Sierra over to the Mac Pro since Mojave’s was there.

even after I wipe it clean, it goes through a long install and at the very end it says it can’t install :-(

this is after I put Sierra on a usb stick,

im not having much luck today lol

i think it may be whiskey time perhaps

I am still porting over a few things like my logic x channel strips that didn’t carry over ?

so far I noticed the computers snappiness:-)

it actually starts up quicker !

this was the way to go and I thank you very much.

today I’m going to try and just lay a bunch of tracks down and see how it goes

I didn’t think I could run Sierra, or even high Sierra

I was correct, a late 2013 model.

I agree :-)

im giving it another shot,

inerased the internal, and started up from the usb stick with Sierra,

wish me luck :-)
