SD3 library download to external hard drive

[Shaba]

Hi everyone! Thank you in advance. I recently got a new MacBook then had purchased SD3. I have the main program downloaded and can play it with my Roland TD-17KVX with EZD2 sounds with no issues. But….I would like to download the rest of the sound library and other downloads as well but I am having a difficult time. I have the 2-5 download packs on an external drive but whenever I plug it in, the program can’t read them. Could someone maybe do a step by step.
Thanks Again!

Did you download each SD3 library with the Toontrack Product Manager and then run the install for each download?

Thanks for the response. I did download all the external parts. 1-5. I have the program up and running totally fine with no issues but its using the EZD2 sounds. Whenever I attempt to load the downloaded files from my external hard drive I keep getting an error message. Ill attach an image of the error message. . also, I don’t have enough storage on my laptop. Am I able to download and install to the hard drive?

So this is where im attempting to download the files to. My external hard drive (HDD) But it keeps saying error. Does that mean its an issue with my hard drive. Its a 1TB WD ultra Passport.

Try creating a folder on HDD and install the sound libraries in that folder. Then startup SD3.

Right now SD3 is looking in /Library/Application Support/Toontrack/Superior Drummer3

That’s the default but there’s nothing there because the install has not been completed.
