Logic Pro: Default recording to an external drive

After 12 years, I'm finally upgrading my Logic Pro recording rig to a new Mac and I have a REALLY basic question!

How do I get Logic to record to an external drive by default?

Many thanks in advance for any help :-)

Mac mini 2018 or later

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.

macOS Monterey no longer recognizes Tascam DR-100MKIII digital audio recorder My iMac Pro running macOS Monterey 12.1 no longer recognizes the Tascam DR-100MKIII as an external device. The DR-100MKIII has been discontinued is not among the Monterey-verified devices listed on Tascam's website. I'm still able to transfer files using the SD card, but that's a hassle. Is there a workaround?
