Thanks a lot or your quick reply Dark Star.
I was cheered up in the middle of the afternoon, as I kept perusing the IK informations, found my way, I think it was with article 29, about authorizing software.
Your comment that I read in this topic, saying 'first of all' choose the directory, or destination for libraries got me more focused. The installations of software automatically work fine, for staying on the machine. It was the authorising I was bothered about, but when I read up, I used the authorisation manager - saw I had to input the serials, noticed them with the products descriptions, and began to see it through. I've happily got some of my favourites on the new Mac now thanks. But, have I gone about it in the right way...?
My remaining question is, should I have checked the size of all the libraries, the samples before I got started? [I thought this as I was getting underway with putting a few favourites, like Mixbox and T Racks 5 on, relatively easy to install.] Because I want to have it all on the machine, and so I should estimate the amount of drive space I will have and I might need, to be able to avoid having to use an external drive while in the music production process. [There is the limited time option of possibly going for a bigger drive size on the Macbook Air.]
Probably there are guides about how big the different libraries are...aren't there?
There is so much material, Sample Tank 3 & 4 (I didn't get to using them a lot since then or sorting out 4 in relation to 3 due to space problems). Syntronik, so many synths, and Sample Tron 2 I got in the special group buy.
Really great to see your post, thank you
