Confusion regarding moving libraries and where it is.

[Henry Robinett]

I’m tring to locate the proper libraries to move.  I have the Toontrack downloads.  Is it OK to delete this folder? It’s not in the download folder but it’s on a SSD.  It is 346 gb.

 

I also have a folder on external SSD that is labeled Troontack.  It contains SL SD3 dated back to 2018.  What is this? Can I delete it?

 

In the home HD there are two folders in applications support:

Toontrack that has folders for EZBass and Superior drummer3.   The Superior Drummer 3 folder that has my Decades, Roots, Legacy of Rock and all my libraries.

 

What do I move? I tried once and I got INVALID PATH.

SD3, Metric Halo ULN-8, Axe Fx III, DP10, Logic Pro, PT

No help? The manual is vague to me.  At least I haven’t yet found the section.  9.3 something? Right now my Roots vol 1&2 and Ex Cuban are faded out.  But the path seems correct.  I’m a noobie who just jumped in.

Hi,

without seeing the contents and paths on your hard drive and in SD3, I would:

1. check the path in SD3 under Settings > Libraries/Paths… to see where SD3 finds each Library and make notes
2. check the Installation Info in the PM for each Library and see if there are mismatches
3. check if there are any folders starting with ‘SL-Xxxxx’ that seem to contain one of your libraries but is not in any of the listed paths above

Normally, the content in your ‘Downloads’ folder set in the PM can safely be deleted after installation. I have seen some users that have managed to install their products into the ‘Downloads’ folder which, of course, deletes the product when you empty it.

If you wish to move a Library, please move the ‘SL-Xxxx’ folder with its content and structure intact. Then open SD3 and re-link the Library by setting the path in Settings > Libraries/Paths…

BR,
John
