I tried saving an audio file to my external drive but it won't let me saying "the volume is read only. Try saving to another volume." I don't understand.
Logic Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Then your problem should go away.
Hmmm... as will all files on that drive.
Assuming that you have a drive format that is OK, it could well be worth checking the permissions on the external drive (Select the Drive in the Finder and press Command I or use File:Get Info).
Your user account should have "Read-Write" permissions, or to get around the permissions issue completely, check the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" checkbox.

Click on the external drive in the Finder, and choose File > Get Info.
What is the Format? Is it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or something else?
Some formats are read-only in Mac OS X. In other words, you can get files from them, but not write files to them.
