External Hard Drive?

[Matthew Foss]

I had seen on here a quite a while ago a thread regarding moving files to an external hard drive and a “mover” of some sort but I can not find it now… so sorry if this is a repeated thread…I would like to keep all my Toontrack files on an external hard drive (SDX2 EZD2 and EZM2) Can some one help and if possible do a “For Dummies” version where I am pretty much utterly computer inept.
Thanks you for any help!

Hi,

please se this FAQ for moving the EZdrummer 2 Sounds and MIDI:
https://www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-move-the-sounds-for-ezdrummer-2/

This will take care of moving your repository of all Toontrack (percussive) MIDI as well as the EZdrummer 2 EZX:s.
Superior 2 SDX:s can be moved to your location of choice and then re-linked from inside the plugin on the Settings page.
Please see Chapter 9.3 ‘Sound Paths’ in the Superior 2 Manual.

EZmix 2 files are installed to your system drive and can’t be moved the same way. They are very, very small though.

Hello;  As many individuals here that run out of HD space in their macs, I find myself in the same situation.  My question is can I relocate my entire library of Tooktrack software and extension packets to an external hard drive, specifically an SSD 2TB external hard drive?

I did not specify a particular product because as a fateful customer, I have over 60 programs and extension packets from EZ Drummer, EZ Drummer 2&3, EZ Keys, EZ Keys 2, SD 3, EZ Bass (all three) and many many more.  I love your products, and as stated, I have over 60 products, which makes up my Toontrack library.    Your response and guidance is greatly appreciated.  Email: ****productions@gmail.com EDIT* Please do not post email addresses in public Forums

Hi Julio,

all libraries can reside on external drives. Please see the FAQ and/or Help Forums sections for each product but the procedure is the same for all EZ instrument products.
If you need further help, please post in the Help section(s) for registered users, not here in the Studio Corner.

BR,
John
