It's the other stuff that isn't controlled by the Library Manager that I'm interested in.....well I was interested in but I'm pig sick of it all now.thebutler wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:45 pmUse the new Steinberg Library Manager - its in the Additional Content folder, wherever your Cubase 10 program is located. Have a read of the User Guide in there. Hope it helps.!Grumbleweed wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 4:32 pmAnd that's why I wrote my post in this thread!Orbit-50 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 12:54 pm Thank you for the info. My libraries were in place already after the last fiasco, so I didn't have to worry about it on this round. I was thinking the installer was the same as before. I'll remember this for the next full install which I will avoid like the plague.
To reiterate, I want to be able to move the 15 GB (it's even bigger than I thought!) Steinberg folder from C drive ProgramData to my E drive using the mlink utility without it messing up like it did the first time (i.e. no impulse WAVs in Reverence).
Grum.
Grum.
The Steinberg License Manager can move the Halion and Groove Agent content only. Now, this content combines for several GB's worth of data, so it's nice to have this option. That said, there's still another 12GB (or so) of loops and other content located in C:\ProgramData\Steinberg\Content (on Windows) that doesn't get touched by the Library Manager. If you want to move this stuff without breaking anything in Cubase, you need to use Sym Links.
Here are the Windows 10 instructions on how to create Sym Links that I posted over in the Cubase forums. https://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewto ... 3&t=147665
Look into Symbolic Links (Sym Links) in Windows. It totally solved this for me. The process was this:
1. Exit Cubase
2. In Windows, create a new VST Sound folder on a different drive. This is going to be the drive and folder location where you'll want to actually store the content. In my case, I created a "Cubase Content" folder on another drive so it was: D:\Cubase Content\VST Sound
3. Go to C:\ProgramData\Steinberg\Content\VST Sound - cut or copy all the loop data in the folder and subfolders
4. Paste the data into (modify to fit whatever location you want to use) D:\Cubase Content\VST Sound - now you've got a copy of your VST Sound folder on the drive you want all this stuff on
5. Go back and delete the original VST Sound sub-folder: C:\Program Data\Steinberg\Content\VST Sound (this step is important and tripped me up last night - the OS needs to create the linked "VST Sound" folder)
6. Open a Command Prompt in Windows - Run as Admin or you'll get an insufficient privileges error
7. In the Command Prompt type in the following (obviously, you'll replace D:\Cubase Content\VST Sound folder with whatever one you created):
mklink /D "C:\ProgramData\Steinberg\Content\VST Sound" "D:\Cubase Content\VST Sound"
8. Press enter to execute - you should get a message that a Symbolic Link was created between the two folders.
If you get an error, it's likely that you either didn't delete the original VST Sound sub-folder, have a typo in the directory names somewhere, left out the quotes in the mklink syntax, or didn't run the command prompt as admin. I made all these mistakes last night so you don't have to!
9. Relaunch Cubase (should be no different than any other launch)
Result: 12GB of space on C: drive freed up. My Cubase content now physically resides on my D:\ drive, but Cubase still thinks it's installed in C:\ProgramData\Steinberg\Content\VST Sound.
