Q: external hard drive via Airport extreme for libraries, possible?
Am I able to use an external hard drive via airport extreme for a referenced or masters library? Or is performance terrible?
I am trying to gain back space on my MBP

I was thinking of keeping the references on my MBP
This is backwards. You want the library on the MBP drive and the originals referenced on an external drive, either local or NAS.
I am guessing the best solution then is to move the whole library to an external disk if I want get MBP disk space back.
The original files take up the most room in a library, moving those out and keeping the library on the internal drive will give you the best combination of space reduction and speed.
