GarageBand recording question

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Basic question really 😬

My Mac is running slow , probabky due to the fact I have a few GarageBand recordings on it . 
It happened before , but I just deleted them all . I do have an external hard drive , and was wondering if it's worth moving the file over there and if it's hard to do . 
I record short bits on soundcloud and never go back to them ., just leaving them on the Mac . 
 

Thanks

1. What version of MacOS are you running?

 

2. How much RAM does this Mac have?

 

3. Is the system drive a SSD or HD?

 

4. How big is the system drive?

 

5. How much free space is left on it?

There's only one thing there that would point to a slow down problem and that's if the system drive really is an HD rather than an SSD.

 

What model is this Mac? It will be in Apple Menu > About This Mac

 

And while you are their click on the System Report button, and when the system information panel appears select Storage from the left-hand column and see what it says about your system disk.
