How to change the library location

[Gerry Peters]

I have a new computer and have superior 2 and 3 and for some reason it didn’t let me install my Nashville drums on my sample HD it installed on my C drive. It was already installed on my sample HD. i just wanted to point it to it.

The Avator drums did point to the sample HD. So I need to point Nashville drums to my sample drive. In Product manager it doesn’t give me the option of changing the path, although the Avator does. Any suggestions?

Operating system: Windows 11

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

No no no.

Have you actually read what Jord posted? You’re completely missing that (and the path where things should be). The second is why or how did the installer put the samples on drives that are usually floppy drives? A: and B: drives are drive letters usually reserved for floppy drives. C: is your system drive with every drive letter after that other drives. Granted it’s been a while since I played admin on a Windows machine but still….

Hi Gerry,

please visit this FAQ:
https://www.toontrack.com/faq/where-are-my-files-located/

There is info about Default locations for libraries, MIDI and plug-ins as well as a link on How to move sound libraries.

I got it all working. I even opened some songs from 2017 which had only S2 and they worked fine. I moved the samples off my boot drive and on my B sample drive.

It’s been about 15 years since computers even had floppy drives. Don’t worry it’s safe to use B, it’s worked for about 9 years flawlessly. I have 5 computers networked together so drive letters get used up. B is handy since it’s close to my main HD’s when I open My PC. I haven’t tried using the A drive letter, but may do that too – why not.

Thanks everyone!

Gerry: You’re lucky you got it working but I have to wonder what you really did to get it so. I still wouldn’t use drive letters A: and B: as you don’t know what programs really look at. Did you do what Jord said to do? Some how I think there’s more going on than what you’re telling us; now all of a sudden you’re telling us you have 5 computers networked together? That kind of info might well have helped us to diagnose what’s going on. There’s no such thing as TMI when asking for help with computer systems.

It really is working fine. What I did was move the Nashville EZX library along with the Toontrack folder from my boot drive to my B sample drive and put it in the Superior 3 folder. I then checked the settings in Superior 2 and 3 in Cakewalk and made sure I pointed to the Nashville drums. The network had absolutely nothing to do with it.

IOW you ignored what Jord told you to do. I give up.

More importantly what John pointed to. Oh well… If we see a post about missing MIDI then I will prepare a warm cup of “I told you so”. Otherwise we can assume he’s up and running.

Jord did a great job explaining what to do. I did that and everything is fine. I moved the midi folder with the Nashville folder.

No one uses floppies anymore, B has worked perfectly for almost 10 years as my sample drive for 4 different synth libraries. Thanks for your help also Jack – great forum!

Ahhh… good to hear. Glad you’re up and running. In the words of Mike (not going to risk misspelling he last name) of ToonTrack as he ends his videos:  now go make some music.
