External Hard Drive as Playback Engine
How do I designate my Seagate external hard drive as my playback engine within Pro Tools 11?
When I go to >Setup, >Playback Engine, the Seagate isn't listed as an option. See attached screenshot. |

In plain English what are you trying to achieve? Just use this disk for storage for a session? An existing session or a new one? Or what? |

Re: External Hard Drive as Playback Engine
In plain English, I was trying to use my Seagate as a playback engine. Haha. Now I've realized that I definitely can't do that.
I read a tip about using an external hard drive "for audio files." I understood that tip to mean that I should use an external hard drive as a playback engine. But the tip is just saying to use the external hard drive to store audio files from the session. Thanks. |

Yes just make sure it's formatted as a standard Mac filesystem and drag your sessions folders there (assuming the media is in the session folder).
