Default Re: Playcell Palette to External Drive

Many plugins and apps have a prefs setting where you can point to the sounds library after having moved it, or the plugin will simply ask you 'please locate…'. I don't know if this applies to Playcell.

Anyway, I do this all the time because I saved some money on getting the smallest drive with my M2 mini. It goes like this, using Playcell folder as an example:

(MacHD-Library-Applicationsupport-Avid-Playcell)
- Copy folder to external
- Right-click copied folder and select 'create symbolic link' in 'Services' submenu
- copy the symlink to the internal original folder
- delete the original Playcell folder
- delete the "symlink" part of the symlink so it's just Playcell

I think using aliases will work just as fine, but I'm used to using symlinks. Perhaps someone more knowledgable can explain the difference to us…
