My laptop doesn't have the HDD space for me to install all Logic content (loops, samples, etc.) I do, however, have a massive NAS, but the installer won't let me select it when specifying other location. Does anyone have a tip/trick to overcome this? Thanks -
Yes, I know. tip/trick for this.
1.- Don't try to use the NAS (Network Attached Server) to play back any audio. Bad idea, this is not designed for this type of work. I'm not joking here either... so don't ask for another "workaround" with this equipment.
2.- Go and buy, yes, BUY a dedicated FireWire hard drive with a spindle speed of 7200 rpm or faster. Again, do not try to buy a USB or other lesser type of drive, as it will not work. I recommend Glyphtech. They have a 5 year warranty and free data recovery for the first year.
Anything else as a " workaround" will simply explode in your face.
BTW the Logic Manual clearly states what you need to have in order to record and play back audio, and right there it states it is a good idea to have a dedicated hard drive, so no, I am not blowing smoke up your you-know-what...
