Hi,

if you do not wish to download Part 1 to uninstall and reinstall, you can move/delete the unneeded soundbunches.

If you navigate to your ‘SL-SuperiorDrummer3/Sounds’ folder, Part1 would be ‘soundb1.obw’ to ‘soundb23.obw’, Part2 ‘soundb24.obw’ to ‘soundb52.obw’.

The Library Update should be ‘soundb151.obw’ to ‘soundb155.obw’, so ‘soundb53.obw’ through ‘soundb150.obw’ would be the Surround and Extra Bleed parts.

I would recommend first moving the soundbunches to another location, to start SD3 and check everything works as expected, before deleting.

You can always re-download Library parts from the Product Manager.

Thanks John, so S3 is fine whether those files are there or not? And I don’t need to make any other changes, just simply move files away and move them back if I want to?

Hi Gerry,

this has worked for me and the plugin should be fine with this as long as the Library Parts are intact.

Hi!

All sounds are as told above but it seems that they are not installed properly… though it says that they are installed and ready to use..

Is there something else that I should do, in Logic 4example?

Part 1 is installed in external hard drive. And other parts seem to be installed there also but won’t be able to use them in SD3

Hi,

what does the installation info say about the parts in the Product Manager?

OK, and what is it that makes you think the parts are not properly installed?

Hi John,

Thank for the answer you gave regarding uninstalling the surround sound part of SD3 Library.

I had been trying to find out how to do this without having to uninstall the whole thing.

I have followed the advice you gave and removed the necessary files from the sounds folder

and everything seems to be ok.

Thanks once again!

BR

Ian

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but just want to confirm that the best way to remove sound libraries — core or SDXs — from Superior 3 is the just delete the .obw files? I’m fine with this method, just seems surprisingly amateur for Toontrack. I saw an option to remove the library path in the app, but I assume that doesn’t uninstall the libraries.

Along the same lines, two other questions:

~ Is there a way to set a new default kit if I delete/uninstall the core S3 library?
~ And is there a way to keep the MIDI files from an EZX/SDX while uninstalling the sound library?

Bumping this up because this is something I had to deal with recently, and it’s frankly ridiculous that we have to manually delete files to uninstall a part of the Core Library. Seriously, you want us to locate a random number of .obw files and delete those? With no indication of what they are?? You guys spent all that time and money building a fancy Product Manager application, and none of you thought to implement an Uninstall feature for parts? Major oversight, and I really do hope you fix this in a future update.

As it stands, I was able to locate the files to delete by looking at the DATE they were installed, but COME ON. This is basic stuff. Get it together.

Not having an uninstaller, especially with such big libraries, makes zero sense. It should be really really simple for you guys to implement this option that customers have been requesting for years.

Hi John. Is it possible to get a list of what each file in the sound library is so that I can delete the drum sounds I don’t use and reduce the size of the sound library? Like you suggested, I could move the files I don’t want to a different location to make sure it works first and then delete them once I know I have what I want.
