Before I stall Logic Studio, I would like to know what content you recommend installing on the external hard drive. All loop libraries, samples, jam packs, instruments?

Also, do you recommend buying a second external hard drive to be used only for recording to?

Thanks!

I would recommend keeping everything, except if you like the sampler instruments and their associated samples, on the main drive. And yes, I recommend a second internal drive for writing audio to.

And most of us keep our sample libraries on one or more external drives.
