Hello everyone,
I am trying to install and move the new Reason RE Extensions on an external SSD and create a shortcut on the default Propellerhead folder, but until now the simple shortcut has not worked for me.
Has anyone succeeded? Can you share the method you used to achieve this?
Thanks in advance

 

The Complete Guide to Creating Symbolic Links (aka Symlinks) on Windows (howtogeek.com)

 

Yes, I know this guide well. Could you be more specific please? Did you use a hard link? And which folder did you move? RackExtension? Or the individual racks?

 

A while ago I tried with a junction, but it didn't work with the R2R cache. Also I would like to know if there is an effective method, maybe some experts here could help us

Moving refills to external drive

Hey! I've just had to re-install *everything* so I've been going through this exact process very carefully to get everything how I want it. The process to move libraries is as follows.

First, move/cut+paste your Soundbanks folder from c:\ProgramData\Propellerhead Software\Soundbanks to a new location, so for example d:\Libraries\Propellerheads\Soundbanks

Next, press Windows and type CMD, right click the search result and run it as an administrator.

Finally type: mklink /D "c:\ProgramData\Propellerhead Software\Soundbanks" "d:\Libraries\Propellerheads\Soundbanks"

And it's done. You can do the same for "c:\Users\YourName\Music\Propellerhead Content" and "c:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Propellerhead Software\Rackextensions"

What I've done is made a folder on another drive/partition called

-Libraries
--Propellerheads
---Propellerhead Content
---Rackextensions
---Soundbanks

I've also got other folders in there for ReFills, Skins, etc. Nice and tidy!
