#HOW TO INSTALL KOMPLETE ULTIMATE 10 ON A SEPARATE HARD DRIVE FOR MAC INSTALL#

In general, itвЂ™s a good idea to install the content to a secondary hard drive. The Content Location is your sample libraries, things like Action Strikes, Abbey Road Drummer, etcвЂ¦ The Applications themselves are not very large and itвЂ™s best to install them on your OS drive. You will want to leave this set to the default in most cases. The applications are the actual programs, NOT the content or sample libraries. The Application Location is where the plugins will be installed. You can always switch it to a different location if needed.

In most cases the default Download location will be fine unless your OS hard drive is low on space. If you have the download version, you will have to download everything. If you have the boxed version, most of the content will be on the hard drive, but there will probably be updates that need to be downloaded. If your system drive is nowhere near full, just use the default folder = internal drive.In Preferences you have the option to select the Download Location, Application Location, Content Location, and VST Location.

But I don't have to bother about a full system drive I have a multiuser setup and this gives me here and there a big headache. Samples and libraries (Komplete 10, sample CDs, etc.) on external SSD OS and apps on internal fusion drive, also Logic Apple Loops in the default folder (250GB used, 750GB free) If a plugin doesn't allow user specific content location, dont' bother, just use the default. The more symbolic links you use, the more you have to maintain, see points above The biggest contra: All those libraries will suck up a lot of GBs and then the 1TB or bigger SSD get expensive. An SSD highly increases the loading times. So it shouldn't bother you if the content is placed in the default folder. during mixdown, the drive won't be used anymore. So only when you load the presets, during opening up the session, it will take a while to load them. Those mentioned plugins don't stream, they load all samples into RAM. Using the default path usually gets rid of all those issues mentioned above Make sure you have backups of that folder(s) or drive(s) Remember the places you installed the content and afterwards install new content to the same place These points counts for one or multi user setup: Make sure all user have permission on all those places Always the same user should install new content When adding new content to one of the plugins (NI, Trillian, Toontrack) thru a user that is not the user, that originally installed the first content, those registered folder paths get messed up for other users. After installation not all user are setup correctly, but the installing user. You have to make sure that for all user the folder paths are set correctly. When working with multiple user in the computer: In any case I would start by having everything on the same drive until I run into problems and then try to find a solution. But I suppose it all depends on your system (host computer & peripheries) and even more on what projects you're working on, mine are probably simple. I run everything from the internal OS drive and haven't had any problems. Once I put it all back on the main drive, it all worked as it should.ДЎ) Having all sample-related streaming stuff on one drive: is that too much a bottleneck? As I mentioned, right now the content is shared from several drives.Дў) Do you have your Apple stuff on a separate drive? If so, did you have the problem of stuff not writing there?ДЈ) Do you run Logic from your main OS drive? It seemed like it was writing but I later found out it hadn't. However, when I used to have the Apple stuff on a separate drive (even using Symbolic links) I had problems installing new Apple updated content and writing presets. It's more a personal thing than it not working, because it's working great this way. My only dislike is having everything scattered among several drives where have to remember what is installed where, so having it all on the same Sample drive would be more organized. So if I'm in a session using those things, they are all pulling from a different drive thus sharing the load amongst hard drives. my current Komplete is on another internal drive.Spectrasonics, Toontrack, etc are on another internal Sample drive.Right now my Apple stuff installed on my main OS internal drive (where Logic is installed).I am upgrading to Komplete Ultimate and am rethinking my Sample drive. Hi guys, a little preface to my question here.
