Where should I place Toontrack/SL folders?

[Reflex_2]

Just got SD3. This Toontrack folders+SDX subfolders were in my Downloads folder. I moved them to Desktop for now. Where should it be location wise in my Mac?

Haven made any projects with SD3.

Attached screenshot

Thanks

i suggest that you download Toontrack Product Manager and install the software packages from there. Manually managing these large folders would be a headache imo.

Thanks but I dont think I need to re download everything. Just need to know where to put those folders…. anyone else?

There was no screenshot attached in your first post but that sounds like the downloads for the SD3 sound library. They should not be moved anywhere. They contain installer files. The library needs to be installed by an installer, preferably through the Product Manager. If you haven’t changed the download location in Product Manager, I suggest you move the folders back to where they were:

Downloads
— Toontrack
—- SL-SuperiorDrummer3_SDX_Part1
—- SL-SuperiorDrummer3_SDX_Part2
—- etc.

Then you need to “reconnect” the downloaded folders/files to the Product Manager (so it becomes aware again that they are downloaded). To do that, click Download Product for part 1, for example. Since the folder is already in the download location, it will get verified instead of redownloaded. When that has finished, you can click Install. In the installer that gets launched, you get to choose where you want to have the library installed (perhaps on some external disk or in the default location, /Library/Application Support/Superior Drummer). Later, when it has been installed (and is working and you think you won’t need to install it again), you can choose to use the “Clean Up” function in Product Manager – which deletes the downloads that have already been installed, that is, it will delete the SL-SuperiorDrummer3_SDX_Part1, etc., from Downloads/Toontrack.
