Moving Pro Tools Sound Libraries to External Drive
I'm trying to move Pro Tools sound libraries to my external drive inside a folder I created. Where can I locate all main sound libraries that come with Pro Tools? I'd love some information on the best way to proceed in moving the sounds to my external drive, as I am trying to make as much space as possible on my internal drive.

Copy and paste is the only way I know of unless someone chimes in with a better way. You probably need to index the library once it has been relocated.

The op is looking to move the sound files from where they were installed to his external drive. He already has them. Second: The easiest way on a Mac is to just drag them to the new location on the other drive and then delete them from the original location. He'll have to tell each instrument where the files are now located. |

Which is essentially copy & paste, as I also recommended.

Re: Moving Pro Tools Sound Libraries to External Drive
Whatever pleases you. I'm not going to argue about the various ways to accomplish the same thing.
