well it would be nice to upgrade to a bigger hard drive holiday funds say other wise…
so…if I moved instrument lib (Steinberg hal…sounds to my storage drive would that mess things up?)
basically, I am wondering if I can use the main app (Dorico in this case) on my operating system, but all the other files could be loaded from my storage drive??
Yes, this is definitely possible. If you have a look in the knowledge base in the Support section of the web site you’ll find some articles that describe how to move the VST sound content from one drive to another, depending on whether you’re running Windows or Mac.
Updates so far have not included any changes to HALion itself, just Dorico.
I believe that when you first install that you get the option of where you want to install it, but this thread was about moving an already installed library.
Yes, on Mac the way to handle this is to place an alias to the new location in the original installation location. You shouldn’t need to do this again in the future when installing updates to Dorico.
