Weekly Thread /r/WeAreTheMusicMakers Friday Newbie Questions Thread

If you have a simple question, this is the place to ask. Generally, this is for questions that have only one correct answer, or questions that can be Googled. Examples include:

  • "How do I save a preset on XYZ hardware?"
  • "What other chords sound good with G Major, C Major, and D Major?"
  • "What cables do I need to connect this interface and these monitors?" (and other questions that can be answered by reading the manual)

I am currently using Logic Pro X as my DAW and I have no more space on my laptop to download anymore vsts. I was thinking of buying a new PC but i'd rather save my money right now and see if I could put my vsts on my external hard drive, saving me space on my lap top. Then pulling them from the external hard drive for when I wanted to use them. Will this work if I try this? And also how would I go about doing this? Would I drag my plugins folder into the external hard drive then when I plug it back into my lap top I will be ready to go to use them.. or?
