That should help everyone understand the whole process better. Please, report back on what worked and what didn't. You might have to combine these two methods. Can't guarantee it will work, though, since Logic apparently registers the sound library components as installed through installation receipts. After that delete the newly relocated Library folder and rename the existing (fully downloaded) folder back to 'Library' (or whatever it's normally called). This creates all necessary symbolic links in macOS system folders, pointing to the library on external. After downloading the 'Essential Sounds' (or some other small) library, relocate it to the external HD. Details here: Īlternatively, you could rename the library folder on the external drive (temporarily) to some other name. You could try library installation receipt transplant technique.
