I want to record directly to an external drive

I keep getting the drive to slow massage while recording my band live. I read some blogs that suggested using an external SSD drive to not load the HD.


Will this work? I just replaced my 2011 iMac with new one but it acts the same.


We record with 10 simultaneous tracks using a Berhinger XAir 18 usb interface.

Yes,


Menu File > Project Settings > Recording. You can define the recorded audio location at the bottom.


If you save the audio assets within the project, you can also store the project file on the external drive.


Hope that helps,


WD
