SD3 can’t download part 3, says HD is full when it’s not

[Julien D.]

Hi,
I’m downloading the SD3 library but now it started saying my “Macintosh HD” is full.
The thing is:
– No, my macintosh HD is not full
– I’m not even downloading to this HD, my download location is set to an external HD with plenty of space.
Can anybody help me please?
Thank you!

Delete that download by clicking the X button, then restart the download. That makes it go to the new location.

I see that your download folder is named “SD3 Library”. You should not download and install to the same folder because various problems could come out of that, so I would recommend that you create a folder “Toontrack Downloads” for the downloads.

I dunno why I didn’t think of that! Thanks Olof!
It started downloading again and I see I already had 20gb of it done.
Regarding the download folder, I don’t know exactly what you mean.
I’m pretty sure I installed SD on my system HD so it’s running from the system HD and the library is on the external HD.
is that correct?

By the way, i’m not getting any signal in the “OH cond” channel, only in the “OH Dyn” one.
Is that because the sounds for the condensers are in a part I didn’t download yet?

Possibly. But make sure you have instruments active in any channel you want to hear audio from.

That’s okay. Well, to get a product installed, you first download it (to the folder configured in PM) and then you install it (to another folder, preferably). I just thought “SD3 Library” sounds like a place where you may want to install the library and not where you want to download installers (including software updates later on, for example).
