If I may, I'll share what I do after years of having to deal with huge amounts of information (This is just my opinion, others may have a different method)
If reads to me that you do not have a backup drive so unless you have one, It is the most crucial thing to do right now, before installing or erasing anything else.
1. Try to make sure your MBP system drive is a 1TB SSD Drive.
2. First external backup drive should be at least twice the size of your system.
3. 2nd external Backup drive comes into play when you need to erase material from the system drive, the reason for having a 2nd backup drive is that each file you have should always exists on minimum of two separate hard drives.
BTW, This can work with any size system drive.
It is important to try and leave a minimum of 10% free storage on your drive ie. if your HD is 512GB than you should always have 50GB of free space.
If it's 256GB you need at least 25GB of free space at all times.
This stems from the view that a hard drive needs space to work and it needs the temporary free space to work efficiently otherwise your system will slow down quite severely and your drive may strain which can result in the ultimate nightmare of it failing (happened to me, not nice !)
There are a few methods of backing up but that's a different thread.
Backup drives are cheap ... get a USB 3.0 if you can or thunderbolt (you'll be able to work with it if it's a fast connection, not only backup).

SpectrasonicsOmnisphere is debatably one of the most advanced steps in virtual synthesis so far and has been referred to as ‘the king of software synths’. The instalment of Omnisphere 2 saw a vast range of new possibilities including over 400 new DSP waveforms, 3,000 new patches and soundscapes and an audio import option, allowing users to import their own audio to use it as a sound source, extending the possibilities of Omnisphere further than ever before.
Omnisphere 2. Holy crap, Omnisphere 2 is a huge step up. But the software running inside the TI2 doesn't have to deal with any overhead of an operating system or user/kernel space or any nonsense like that, so it's not a fair comparison. PS: I vote Omnisphere 2. Much more interesting. Sep 20, 2008 The problem is that I don't have enough space on my primary drive. But I think this weekend I will try to clean enough space and install it directly to the boot drive to see if that makes a difference.
Why stop there though? There are some amazing expansion packs up for grabs; a wide range of cinematic, dark, ambient, dance, minimal and many other great patches are available to buy from Time+Space, and all at very affordable prices. Before you start filling your shopping cart, have a read through this buyer’s guide to get a rundown of which packs are most suited to your needs.
Ambient and Experimental
Omnisphere is the perfect platform for all genres that look to distort the boundaries of music and abandon any sense of tempo or key signature. The complex synthesis engine can morph and twist audio way beyond normality and back again, making it a perfect tool for the avant garde composer.

Take a journey into the deeper realms of ambience and electronic music with everything from soundscapes, textures, special FX, synth sounds and beyond.
