Not sure where to install software downloads
« on: December 15, 2021, 06:04:37 am »
I'm a Windows 10 user, and I install all vst and vsti plug-ins on the C drive with the OS and my DAW (Reaper). I install all virtual instrument libraries on an external SSD.

I recently purchased a Keylab MKII controller, which comes with Analog Lab, Piano V2, and Arturia MIDI Control Center. And due to a special promo, I will also be downloading Mini V, Stage-73V, and REV Plate-140 plug-ins...as well as V Collection 7. Should Analog Lab and MIDI Control Center be installed on the C drive, and everything else on the external SSD? Will I have the option to install the software in different locations?

I posted the same question in the Analog Lab forum...hope that's ok. If not, Admin., please delete one or the other...sorry.

The software expects you to put everything on the C: drive. If you don't it will likely not work as expected.
I know this because we've been here before, not too long ago: someone was struggling to get everything to work, and he eventually came out with the little nugget of information that his primary drive is G: not C: (for a reason which was apparently none of my goddamn business, which technically is true I guess).

Thank you, Major. I won't mess with it. What the software wants, the software gets.
