![]() ![]() The subsystem might be Unix based, so you would think it would be that easy, but there is a lot of Apple on top of it that keeps people that don't know what they're doing from screwing things up which you can do very easily from the terminal.Thank you! From my rudimentary experience with command line stuff, I had a suspicion I needed to use the sudo command, but wasn't sure, especially about the syntax. This command "ln -s /Volumes//Logic\ Content/Logic /Library/Application\ Support/Logic" is never going to work unless you use "sudo ln -s /Volumes//Logic\ Content/Logic /Library/Application\ Support/Logic" and then type your admin password afterwards. It shouldn't show up in your Home directory unless you use "~/Library", you should just get a permission denied message instead. Symlinks don't work in OS X's GUI like they do from the command line. You can't copy them around without properly setting permissions for them. The subsystem might be Unix based, so you would think it would be that easy, but there is a lot of Apple on top of it that keeps people that don't know what they're doing from screwing things up which you can do very easily from the terminal. I use symboliclinker ( SymbolicLinker for Mac - Free download and software reviews - CNET ).įirst the symboliclinker didn‘t appear in services. ![]() had to use system preferences (keyboard/shortcuts/services) and created a shortcut for the symbolic linker to work. Then (and before I use symbolic linker) I dowloaded new Logic content to my mac‘s drive (had to copy garageband and apple loops to my external drive to delete it because I don‘t have lots of space in my ssd drive). After downloading Logic content I moved it to my external HD, created a symbolic linker, moved symbolic linker to original location (Library/Application Support), deleted original folder and changed the name of "Logic Symlinker" just to Logic, the original name (and deleted the external HD‘s symbolic linker).ĭid the same with Garageband and Apple loops. I realised that some of garageband content was missing so I moved the original folder to my ssd drive again, downloaded the missing files and then I repeated the same processe that I used with Logic Content. Tried these instructions too and I still do not see the sym links in /Library/Application support Now I have all my Logic, GarageBand and Apple Loops in my external HD. How to move Logic's additional content to a secondary drive - Logic Pro MusicI'm in the process of moving certian Komplete 9 instruments that I don't use often to my external drive using symbolic links. Native Instruments does say that once you set your library folders, you can't move them. That's not true, they say that so they don't get the headaches of people trying to do something and not doing it properly. It would take hours to diagnosis the problem for NI and it's just easier to say, don't do it. ![]() The other thing about grabbing all the Logic Pro X PKG files and the PKG files for the contents is, if you don't write a script for the many PKG files for the Logic Pro X contents, you'll have to run them one by one. So you can't just run one, then go do something, you have to sit in front of the computer wait till one PKG installs, then run the next one. So if you want to run them all in one shot, you still have to write a shell script to do that and in what they call silent mode as well. ![]() I did do this external drive for Logic but it's really not worth it when you think about it. At some point my external drives were getting filled up more than my primary drive because I wasn't creating 1000's of project files so I had all this free space my my primary drive. ![]()
