I’m sure some of this has been covered but I wonder if, and how, this is working for others. For reference I’m using a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) 2Ghz i7 w/ 8GB DDR3 and thunderbolt ports mainly with a MOTU 828x. I recently updated to “High Sierra” 10.13.4. My primary program will be Digital Performer 9x and audio recording will be done on an external SSD attached to a thunderbolt port.
So I want to start using SD3 soon but the installation size creates issues. The Toontrack product manager seems to work well and it appears I was able to remove all of SD2, that’s helpful. I don’t see a problem with installing the SD3 program itself but the Superior Drummer 3 Library Part 1 – Basic Sound Library is fairly huge at 40.5GB!
Is it ok to install that on an external USB flash drive or second external SSD?
It’s probably a dumb question but I imagine I need to also download and install Toontrack Solo in order to run SD3 stand alone or otherwise SD3 is only a au/vst plug-in available within my sequencer programs?
Thank you for any assistance and advice.
Hopelessly unable to keep up with updates.
