Re: Installing logic 8 and samples-content on another disc

2007-09-26 by Man Parrish

Hi Chris,

You can choose a directory but only on SOME of the content. Seems that Logic/Apple 
wants you to put certain sample files directly on you Macintosh HD. Probably because  
other programs like Soundtrack and GarageBand reference them..? But you will notice in 
the installer that you can't choose a custom directory for some of the large sample library 
installs. It would have been a nice option to choose where to put ALL samples and impulse 
responses where ever you wanted, as I know most people have full startup discs these 
days..  thanx!
