Location of certain kit pieces? 64 GB for just 1 cymbal?

[LeanderL]

Hey!

I know where the sound libraries are located on my SSD, but the files are .obw format. I own SD3, Metal Foundry, Death & Darkness and some EZX libraries…how can I make room on my SSD when I only use one cymbal of “Darkness” which is 64 GB? Taking up so much space for just 1 cymbal is a waste of space.

Is there a way to know what files the cymbal needs? So I can delete the rest of “Darkness”?

This has been discussed here before but the answer is not really. The best you can do is to eliminate the surround and height installs but the only library I know for sure that that can be done is for the basic/stock library.

Aside that there is no single kit piece that is 64GB, you cannot really break up a library. You can install smaller footprints of various SDXs or you can get a larger SSDs as they are inexpensive these days.

My SD3 libraries take up 340 GB, but I only use “Death” (105 GB) + Action/Latin Percussion etc. (2.4 GB)…and one kick of Metal Foundry, one cymbal of “Darkness”…

My audio library is 650 GB in total…and I have two SSDs for audio libraries and games, but don’t want to buy another one.

You don’t need the whole stock library installed. You also don’t need the height and surround parts but I don’t know how or if you can prune them if the library is already installed. And as Jord said you can’t just pull out a single kit piece so you’re going to have to keep installed all of Death & Darkness. Just get a bigger SSD.
