                Move Logic Pro X content to external drive
              
          
    Works for Logic Pro X and GarageBand


Doing it his way does not break on content downloads


For GarageBand just replace Logic with Garage\ Band

Create Library folder in external drive

mkdir /Volumes/{External Drive's Name}/Library
