KC Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 There's a great program called dasiy disk that does this exactly and also allows you to delete files. There is a demo available. It takes a bit to figure out the way it works, but I use it for just such things often. Cheers kc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skijumptoes Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I've used Disk Inventory X for years, but that Daisy Disk looks much much nicer, gonna try it next time i need to analysis contents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrydpi Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Mountain Lion doesn't tell you in Disk Utility, if that's what you're using. Do Do I have some questions not related to this Thread I see see several Yamaha HS Models that you use. What are the two in your Studio, what are the other Monitors, and which ones do you primarily use first for Mixing? Thanks, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skijumptoes Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Logic folder is probably alchemy and/or drum designer kits - do you have the additional kits installed? I think full content for Alchemy is in the 14-15gb region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the two in your Studio, what are the other Monitors, and which ones do you primarily use first for Mixing? The HS 5 are connected to a yamaha sub, so we use those a lot for mixing. General listening and tracking we use the HS 8. But it varies and we switch back and forth as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrydpi Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 The Yamaha's are great! I have LSR305's, and the ARC2 System. As a general rule, as long as I know the JBL's, and I know the Room, should I have any excuses (Monitor selection wise) for not getting Mixes that translate?

KC Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 So know that I know what's on the SSD, how do I know what to safely delete? Thanks, Jerry You can keep digging down In Daisy Disk and find where the stuff lives. Once you know that you can make a decision about to keep it or not. What I've done, is do a search once I find something suspicious, and find out who put it there and why, and then delete as necessary. If you don't have ProTools you can probably get rid of that stuff. A lot of times, if you install a plugin it will also install the VST, AAX,MAS and other versions, even if you don't need or use them. That's most likely what those are. But again, dig deeper in Daisy Disk and do some investigation Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplets Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 The other monitors are Tridents. But are disconnected now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrydpi Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 What are you thoughts about the LSR305 question I asked you earlier? The reason I ask is because I've always been on the proverbial fence of the LSR305's with the LSR10 sub versus the HS5's and the HS8 sub. As a side note, I'm using the 305's about 40" from my chair, and the bass IS there, no question, even without a sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last question tonight Are they HS5's or HS50M's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
