Transfer Sound libraries & expansion packs to external hard drive

[Ian Lorello-Creed]

Hi

I wonder if someone can help and I’m sure this question has been asked before but I’m slowly running out of space on my computer; therefore I want to transfer my superior libraries, midi add on packs, EZdrummer & EZX libraries. sound libraries to an external hard drive so I can free up space.

Appreciate any help, thanks

 

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.1.7
Operating system: macOS Mojave (10.14)

For EZDrummer 2 and MIDI files etc. it’s all or nothing. I’ll assume a standard Mac install;

Shutdown Toontrack Product Manager, EZDrummer, SD3….

Copy  the folder [Macintosh HD]/Library/Application Support/EZDrummer to [New Drive]/EZDrummer

Rename [Macintosh HD]/Library/Application Support/EZDrummer to [Macintosh HD]/Library/Application Support/EZDrummer_ORIG (Just in case)

Startup EZDrummer 2, it should complain that it can’t find can’t find the sample libraries and give you the option to navigate to the new location. Do that.

Shutdown EZDrummer. At that point you should be able to delete [Macintosh HD]/Library/Application Support/EZDrummer_ORIG

Create a folder [New Drive]/Superior

Go to [Macintosh HD]/Library/Application Support find the folder SL-SuperiorDrummer3 and copy it to [New Drive]/Superior ( It may be in a folder called Toontrack, literally been years since I had the libraries in the default location so I don’t exactly remember). Keep the folder SL-SuperiorDrummer3 intact. At that point you can copy any other SDXs to [New Drive]/Superior.

Startup SD3 and follow the instructions at 9.3.5 of the manual here; https://www.toontrack.com/manual/superior-drummer-3/9/9-3-settings-2/#9-3-5-libraries-settings-tab

Once that is done you should  be able to remove them from the default location.
