Atlas007 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Which precise version of Logic are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Samarpan Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Well i finally have moved all my sound library to an external drive and its running fine. But now the trouble i am facing is how do i install third party plugind to my external drive ? I am using logic 10.5.1 version now. Your help on this will really mean a lot to me.

des99 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 You don't install plugins anywhere other than the default system drive locations, otherwise they won't be seen by the system. You can often install *sample content* for certain plugins on external drives, but the plugins have to be in the plugin folders on your system drive, no exceptions.

Einstein Samarpan Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Thanks for response... Well in that case say i am having any plugin of massive size then the problem of going out of memory remains same !! Is there a way that i install plugin to my Mac-OS and the plugin's library to external hard drive? I wish badly for it to happen. Reply awaited. Thanks So Much.

des99 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Yes, as I said in the post immediately above yours. If you want specifics, you'll have to actually tell us what plugin you are referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 As hinted by des99, some 3rd party plugin allow their library relocation (i.e. NI-Kontakt, Spectrasonics-Omnisphere-Keyscape-Trilian-StylusRMX, etc). Some have their specific procedure, others don't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Samarpan Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 I just tried one called valhalla freq echo which was available on the website for free, but it says it can't be installed on external hard drive as you too mentioned earlier. I don't have much knowledge on plugins and don't know much about which all plugins i should get started with !! Can you please help me with some good free ones or any place from where i can download them. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Freq Echo is 4MB, so it's not exactly a disk space hog. Yes, it must go in your system plugins folder. If you're struggling this much with disk space, I'm not sure why you're asking for places to download *more* stuff, which will just make the problem worse...

Einstein Samarpan Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 No no what I meant is I tried Valhalla for instance to check but I wish to install plugins like Valhalla, native instruments etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 How many more times must I say this? The plugins must be installed to the system folders. Some plugins, that have, for instance, large quantities of sample content, give you the option to install the library content - the big stuff - to external drives if you want to. If you have zero space on your system drive, and you're thinking of installing more stuff, then you're going to hit problems because you really need some free space on your system drive for everything to function smoothly. Create some space, or upgrade your drive, before starting to think about adding more stuff that you don't have space for - that's my recommendation.
