Thanks in advance. That is what I do and I have no trouble unless I try to "Real Time Preview" too too many tracks, filters, effects at once, and I think that is a problem with my Mac's processing power not the external disk. It works fine after first rendering the project. No problem with either capturing or exporting. -- from Paul Knight Home: (JapanEd) 43 Burn Street, Levin, New Zealand 5500 Ph: 64 6 368 9192 Fax 64 6 368 9193 eMail: paul.knight at internet.co.nz
