PT Logic

Logic Pro overwhelmed

I switched to logic from garage band because I use so many tracks that I get latency lags, and it was taking forever to freeze and save.

I have opened my large (20 track) garage band file in logic. I have had to bounce my multiple track file onto one track, and I record onto an external hard drive. The latent lag is gone, but I have the laborious process of saving all my new regions into audio files and then importing them into the master file that is not bounced. Then I add my new stuff, and bounce again and then record on the new bounced file.

I could live with all that. But now, after having gone through all of that, and using a laborious process, when I start recording new tracks on my bounced file, I get a message that the volume on the external hard drive is full. So I have to record one or two regions, save them, delete them from the bounced file I am using, and then start recording again.

I really enjoy my home studio, and I do use many tracks, can anyone help me find a way to conveniently work on a large file without a latency lag and without getting lags, and without all that bouncing, an without getting shut down because the volume is full.
ps I know about freezing, but I think bouncing opens more space

please help

When I try to record get the message
Volume "Macintosh HD" is full.
I get it with a brand new project with one small track. My Mac is plenty big, I am recording onto a good external hard drive, It happens whether i record onto the external hard drive or right onto my MAC.

I have gotten new and upgraded everything except my M Audio interface.

I used to think the problem was that my projects were too big. But it happening on a new project with one track...just trying to get a single base note on the first beat of a four bar groove. nothing else.

Looks like you have your projects on your system drive, and IT'S full!
System performance declines as free space is filled up on the system drive.

I have my system configured with a system drive for applications, and a project drive dedicated to audio and video.

To access the specs to your Mac engage the Apple menu in the upper left corner

About This Mac/ More Info / System Report

There you can find detailed information about your system hardware and software.

Look for SATA to find the size of your system drive and the available space.
