    Hi there

    I have been reading a lot of posts without luck.

    Have latest Nexus 5 from Audioz and the Factory Content Library on Ableton Live Suite 12 on latest Tahoe M3 Macbook Pro but I cannot make the plugin to recognize the library as it opens.

    Any help will be much appreciated, thanks

    I am afraid that doesn't work for me on the latest version as the json file that needs to be edited setting the library route doesn't exists in Nexus 5. There is a different json file, with a different name and does not seem to have any line referring to any library that I can edit.

    Example:


    Thanks

    edit this file: /Users/Shared/reFX/nexus/settings.json.

    if still not working, issue commands in terminal to assume ownership and set permissions:

    sudo chown $(whoami):staff /Users/Shared/reFX/nexus/settings.json
    sudo chmod 666 /Users/Shared/reFX/nexus/settings.json

    You need to edit this line: "library_folder": in the middle of the file. Not the bottom one. You can leave this line alone: "user_folder": "/Users/Shared/reFX/nexus"

    After that, what specific version number of Nexus5? Some people have mentioned some older version releases not working with Tahoe.

    I already fixed it. The original installer has a box that I didn't tick for first time installs that especifically creates the settings.json and that is why I didn't have it.

    Now I am wondering how to install a particular library beside the factory one.

    Thanks guys.
