I have other backups of the current projects (for example I have a usb stick that I always keep with me when I’m away with ongoing stuff: if my stuff get’s stolen I can always replace the hardware, the actual audio not so much…).

It’s not as important for me to backup the libraries as I can always download them again (I have a very fast internet connection and I’m a hobbyist so it’s not like I have clients waiting). Then I have 2 backups of the audio drive, and on one of them I also have the libraries.

Worst case I need to do a clean install and reinstall the software but the libraries and projects are on the external drives. I could only use the audio drive but I chose 1TB before superior drummer with the massive 500gb library so it was easier to just put it on another drive.Īnd as for backup, I have a Time Machine for the internal drive so I can restore the system if needed. « Library drive » I have another SSD in a usb 3 enclosure for my « static » libraries, meaning it only really needs read access (superior drummer and logic library).

It may not be an issue going USB now as trim is handled since Mac OS Big Sur (or maybe monterey). For audio projects it’s more than enough speed! I store my projects on it. It’s not the fastest you can find but it’s trim enabled and not super expensive, it’s also very small and portable.

« Audio drive » I have a thunderbolt 3 OWC envoy express 3 with a 1TB NVMe stick. The way I’m setup currently is all software and plugins are on the internal drive for fastest operation. Once the library has been downloaded, you’ll click an “Install Product” button and you will get to choose where you want to install the library.I have a 2018 Mac mini with only 256gb so internal drive space is tight. The download location is NOT the folder where you want the library to be installed, just a folder that will be used for Product Manager downloads (sort of temporary files) – a suitable name for such a folder is “Toontrack Downloads”. You need to change your download location in Preferences in Product Manager to a disk that has enough space for the download. Operating system: macOS High Sierra (10.13) I have an “apple trash can” and obviously only have one internal drive, and only have like 30 gb free, I have more that 6T on my Thunderbolt drives but wont let me install … any solution? “The selected folder is not a valid installation of Superior Drummer 3 Library” Well, I just bought it and I CAN NOT install it on external drives, I tried to chage the path to any of them and I always get the same message, This post was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by Bernie Lenhoff.Hmm…wondering if the solution might be symlinks to certain Library folders on the internal drive? In short, I want to be able to use SD3, no matter whether I boot from the internal or external SSD. Is it simply a matter of copying the SD3 plugin over to the new OS? Would that require an additional authorization (I’ve already used 2 authorizations, one for this old computer and one for my newer one where I mix)? It would be a pain to authorize/deauthorize everytime I want to switch boot from the internal/external drive. My question is: what is necessary for me to be able to use SD3 when booting from the external SSD? After installing and opening Product Manager on the new OS, it shows no installed products (even though all the files are on that same drive). I wanted to try the new Presonus Studio software which needs a later OS, so I installed a bootable OS (High Sierra) on the same external SSD.

I have no problem using it with the DAW as is. I have Superior Drummer 3 installed with the bulk of it on an external SSD, per discussion above. I have an older MacBook running Mavericks.
