In the installation manager click on the 3 horizontal lines on the right hand side of the installation info tab of the product manager. You should see several ways to change paths or add an alternative library path.

the 3 horizontal lines on the right hand side of the installation info tab allow me to change that in Avator drums, but not in Nashville. It’s stuff like verify download

the 3 horizontal lines on the right hand side of the installation info tab also has uninstall, I wonder if I should do that and then somehow point it to the correct sample HD.

Shame the forum s/w doesn’t allow to quote 2 or more posts. First – it’s weird you don’t have the options for Nashville. Second – there’s a simpler way the uninstalling and reinstalling. Just move the library to your sample drive and make sure that SD3 points to that drive.

The library is already on my sample drive. It also just got installed on my boot drive by accident. There was also a snag with my having 2 authorizations, I removed one of them so now I’m authorized on the new computer for Nashville drums. Maybe that contributed to this problem. I may just uninstall, since it will only uninstall it on my boot drive and then reinstall. Unless someone has any other ideas – thanks

Nashville is an EZX. It will have installed into your EZDrummer folder. You need to move this folder to your sample drive and the point to it in your Library/Path settings.

I went ahead and used Product Manager to uninstall Nashville EZX and reinstalled in product manager. It still installed on my boot drive. I then used Disk 1 of the original Superior 2 – 9 DVD set. I installed Superior 2.0, but it didn’t let me point to the library

Keep in mind I still have my old computer that it’s installed on using the same sample HD. I moved the sample HD to the new computer, installed Product Manger and installed Superior 2 and Superior 3 and saw my Nashville EZX and installed it, but it installed on my boot drive and didn’t give the option for another HD

The Avatar drums did point to the sample HD. In Product manager it doesn’t give me the option of changing the path of the Nashville drums with the 3 dots, although the Avatar does. IN Cakewalk I tried opening S2 and S3 and I can’t point the Nashville library to the correct path. Can I call tech support? Or is it only email?

As I said, you have to move your EZDrummer folder and point Superior Drummer 3 to it.

Should I install EZ player pro?

ON my sample HD I have a Superior 2 folder with Nashville and Avatar and a Superior 3 folder. No EZDrummer folder

Perhaps I am not being clear enough.

Forget about the Nashville EZX on your sample drive. Superior Drummer won’t see that one EZX. The path in your Libraries/Path settings is where all of your EZXs and MIDI are installed.

Move this folder in its entirety to your sample drive and point Superior Drummer 3 to the newly moved folder on your sample drive and delete the old Nashville EZX installation.

But is this the same path for Windows because that’s what the OP is using. Your’s looks like it’s for a Mac.

BTW the link for your personal page returns a runtime error message after a few minutes of trying.

DB issues. Looks like my host changed something while I was out west. Figures.

Despite the fact that I am using a Mac, it’s not really relevant since the OP has to check in their own version of Superior Drummer 3 and change it. The purpose was to show where in the settings to change this and the fact that the entire EZDrummer folder needs to be migrated or it will affect his MIDI as well as the EZX.

When I first got S2 it installed in this folder
B:\SUPERIOR DRUMS
with these 2 folders
EZX_Nashville
SL-Avatar

When I installed S3, it’s library was in this folder
B:\SUPERIOR DRUMS 3\SL-SuperiorDrummer3

currently my Nashville EZX is here
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Toontrack\EZDrummer\EZX_Nashville

So after I delete EZX_Nashville on my sample hd, which folder should I place it in? I assume I’d move this whole folder tree: Toontrack\EZDrummer\EZX_Nashville

You only need to move the EZDrummer folder and then point Superior Drummer 3 to the new location.
