That is correct.  This all happened as a result of my upgrading to a new Mac computer.  I actually cloned the hard drive I had all my sound library on previously to a new external drive, using the same name for that hard drive that the previous one was named.  But after success there and then making sure everything worked  as it should (by loading previous projects using the libraries) I then decided it would be good to have the new hard drive named differently for identification and backup purposes.  Everything still loaded properly etc. on those projects after I renamed that hard drive.  However when I went to product manager to check for updates and check for what I actually owned (contemplating new library purchases), product manager made me download my midi expansions and sound libraries again because it stated they were not installed.  I thought that OK I will go ahead and do that but surely Product Manager will just recognize they are already there.  That is not what happened,  I have had to go through the whole download process again and am still not done yet with that.  So I am confused …where did all those previous downloads go to?  And am I now faced with some hidden duplicate files?  Pretty confusing since again all I did was changed the name of the hard drive.  And yes everything is in the same location on that cloned hard drive as they were on the previous one.

Thanks all …I finally got it.  I deleted the whole SD3 folder off that external drive and copied it once again off my Mac Pro.  I also downloaded all the EZX midi files with Toontrack Manager and now everything is fine.  I think my stupidity was in not downloading those midi files as well, thinking the midi files and the modifications I made were actually saved with SD3 for each project.  Anyways …thanks everyone for your patience and help.

I tried opening SD3 and navigating to that exterior hard drive before I even posted here …it still did not load the samples.  I will get rid of that Everything But Sticks ….but I have used samples from it in some of the projects I want to have load on that Macbook Pro ….all on my main Mac Pro with no problems.  So without it there …SD3 will not find them.  As far as how I coped it ….I did it like I always do …simply attached the external hard drive to my Mac Pro and dragged the folder over to the External hard Drive.  I did not use Migration assistant.

I just instructed Toontrack manager to install the library on my 2 TB hard drive instead of my main drive ssd …because of space.  Nothing other than that.  Which is where I copied that SDX library from …the 2TB hard drive.

Everything but sticks is a sample library from another source than Toontrack .. from which I can drop in individual samples into SDX if I want to.  I can’t imagine that would be preventing SDX from recognizing the SDX library on my MacBook Pro.  My Mac Pro has no trouble with it.  So other than that …the SDX library on that external drive appears correct?  If so …anyone have an idea why SDX on my Macbook does not find the samples with all the info I have given?  Thanks….

It appears that my main studio Mac Pro will download properly …should I just attach that external drive to it and then change the path to download to that drive?  Of course, that seems kind of stupid since the files are already on my main studio drive but so far copying from my Mac Pro has not worked.  Would I need to change the Computer name in preferences on Toontrack manager when I do this ….to make sure it can be used on my Macbook Pro?  I really do not want to do any of this ….but whatever gets the job done.  I do not want to mess up my main studio drive however for future downloads etc..

Thanks …the folder is called SDX Library.  Attached is a screen shot of what is in it.  It is the only SDX Library I can find on my stsem …and everything in it is the same as everything on my main studio hard drive.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

Ok …so I copied the SDX library to an external hard drive.  But when I load a project that used Superior Drummer it does not find the samples.  I then went into preferences and changed the path for the libraries to that external drive but it is still not finding the sample.  I have looked at the SDX library on that external drive and it looks the same as the on on my other computer.  So any advice is welcome …in the meantime I will go back to trying to download the libraries with Toontrack Manager.  Pretty confusing so far.

Thanks everyone …I will try these various solutions….although the download of all Ezkeys and Ezbass libraries happened without a hitch

Thanks for the replies.  So I get it, the drum kit is dedicated to the whole song as opposed to different blocks.  I believe the add an instrument is the better way to go here and I will try that.  Next I will try the automated macro idea .  I have not tried the automation inside SDX as of yet.    Richard

While I am at it …why is there no mono output for any of the different aspects of EZbass bass guitars?  Thanks Richard

[Headrc]

I am using it in Log Pro x …thanks …I really want to solve this as I do not care for the stereo bass Ezbass is outputting.

[Headrc]

chime in here …please get this implemented in EZ keys!
