I am installing all my music production software on a new laptop. Because I ran out of disk space on my main drive, I had to move the EZDrummer 3 content to an external drive. This worked pretty easily for EZMix, EZKeys, and EZDrummer 2. I just used Terminal to mv the folders to the external drive, then when I started those apps, they ask for the content location. After pointing them at the new location and a little churn, all three seemed to start up and work just fine.
This isn’t the case with EZDrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3 though. EZDrummer 3 just says “No resources seem to have been installed! Please reinstall EZdrummer 3”. When installing EZDrummer 3, I can install it to the external drive, but that’s not what I want. I want the app on the main drive and the content on the external drive, but it doesn’t seem possible to do this. Why doesn’t EZdrummer 3 just ask for the new location or give me an option to set it?
Similarly, Superior Drummer 3 just hangs. I see “Superior Drummer 3” in the menu bar, but nothing else. The menu has no menu items in it. It doesn’t even tell me anything, let alone allow me to search for and select the new location for the content.
How can I fix the EZDrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3 installations so that they can have their content on the external drive?
I should mention that I used the Toontrack Product Manager to install all the apps and purchased content on the new laptop.
