Lizzie Foster Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 As a note, after you update this stuff, hit the trash can to delete the download files. They take up a lot of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, but if you update it will do so very quickly if you don't delete said files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were taking up about 30GB of my 1TB SSD. If I could put them somewhere else, it would be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably have about 7.5 TB of Kontakt libraries and another 1.5 to 2 TBs of EW and UVI stuff. Granted, it started getting out of hand when I got into the orchestral libraries.... And there's a lot of free stuff on spinning drives. There may be more, as I'm not really counting all my drives. Just the ones I regularly use.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't urgent yet. It takes up about 34GBs. Part of my problem is I run both ProTools and Cubase. So I need AAX and VST. Each plugin is small, but it adds up after a while.

scook Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The "N4 repository path" ? There may be a hack to do so but according to https://acusticaudio.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/35000109347-how-to-install-n4-and-libraries-through-aquarius Quote NOTES: You can not move manually the N4 repository folder, the product will stop working. To change the N4 repository folder or a library path you should first uninstall the library and N4 or N4 Player first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie Foster Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Thanks. That is what I thought. I was trying to find it in the Solutions area, but hadn't found it yet. Might be worth reinstalling if it gets too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't be bothered to reinstall, a symbolic link might work - you move the actual directory, but create a link to it in its place: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take up a lot of room. Here's a tip: When you download a new release keep the backup files in the repository for a few weeks or so. There can be quite a few updates in the first month. ( I refer to AA's new releases as 'working betas' with us customers finding & reporting bugs) Since the main files are still in repository only the necessary files needed for the update (usually much smaller size) will be downloaded. If deleted Aquarius downloads the full file & as you know they can be several GB's. When the update cycle seems to quiet down then either purge them using Aquarius or by hand.

I just moved the AA staging file to a different drive. Now I will probably keep them for a while. I'm currently updating Pink and it is taking much longer than usual, probably due to my trashing it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently updating Pink and it is taking much longer than usual, probably due to my trashing it all. Here's my setup; I have a 'Acustica_Aquarius_Stage' folder located on one of my internal drives that I use for downloads. The Main files (.dll, ENG., N2V) all get installed into a folder on one of my SSD's that I named 'acustica64' N4 & its files go on the same SSD but in their own separate 'nebulatemprepository' folder This keeps all the unwanted GB's off my main drive. ( I don't install AA VST3) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
