Fields of Rock Sub-Libraries

[jeffh_1]

Seeing as the fields of rock sdx is divided into 4 separate libraries both in the plugin and in the file system, is it possible/safe to delete individual unused libraries from the fields of rock folder to free up space?

You probably could but if you’re that short of storage you’re going to run into issues if you want to add another SDX or utility or program. Maybe dedicate a separate drive to store your samples/SDX’s on? While you may not be using certain sections now but what about in the future?

I would take Jack’s suggestion and get yourself a nice fat external SSD and move everything to it, storage relatively cheap these days.

If you look sub folders you can see where the sections are but I have no idea what that would do to the overall configuration of the SDX.

I’ll add to what Brad and Jack said and add, don’t get a 1 TB drive!!!! I’m already look at the SDXs on sale this month and realizing I will need a 2 TB drive. Which I do have actually, so I’ll have to shuffle the decks soon….

If you can afford it get a 4tb drive. I have a 2 tb and need to get a bigger one. A few things you can never have too much of – money/ram/storage space.
