If you still need to format your hard drive for MacOS - • How to Format a New External SSD Hard...
This video walks through a file management system optimized for music production. It walks through where to store sample libraries, VST, plugins, project files, DAWs, and if they should go on your laptop/pc or on an external hard drive with the goal of getting the best performance out of your setup for music production.
As a music producer, it can be a bit overwhelming to research the best organization for where to install applications, VSTs, etc. I've tried to distill everything I've come across here into an explanation and walkthrough that I definitely wish I had found earlier in my music production journey.
We'll talk through a setup using your main laptop/pc and 2 external SSD drives (solid state hard drives), a couple options for how to backup your project files or sample libraries (physical drive and/or cloud storage), and some general tips on the hardware to connect everything.
