I am having some significant issues with installing Sampletank 4 MAX as part of Total Studio S3.5 MAX.
I started to install the main apps first, SampleTank, Syntronik 2 and Sampletron. All okay. Configured IKPM to download the sounds to D:/IK Multimedia Sounds. Started to install the sound libraries and to my surprise they defaulted to C:/Users/Public/Public Documents... This created folders for each app .. Sampletank 3, Sampletank 4, SampleTron etc etc
I don't want it all on my main C: drive - it's not big enough as I then found out. It initially installed to the default directory in C:/Users/Public/Public Documents and after installed about 250Gb ran out space. So I have uninstalled Sampletank, and reinstalled to a directory on my D: drive, and have managed to configure the IKPM to install the sounds to a folder on the D:. I did not appreciate the difference between the setting to download to, and the setting against each sound library to "Install to". More fool me.
I cannot - as some of the posts on here suggest - understand or work out how to configure Sampletank to set a default sound library directory. I have, I think, pointed the IKPM to install the sounds into a directory on D: which I have called D:/IK Sound Libraries. I have then deleted everything from the original install location (C:/Usr/Public ....) and used the reinstall function in IKPM. IKPM is now installing the SampleTank MAX sounds into the root of D:/IK Sound Libraries, and has created four folders - Instruments, Library Info, Patterns and Samples. I am surprised that it hasn't created a Sampletank 4 subdirectory but it does seem like it's working.
So, a couple of questions.
1. Should the SampleTank sound libraries be installing as above, or should I have done something different?
2. When I install other products ( I have TSMAX3.5) should I point them to the same folder for Sounds (ie D:/IK Sound Libraries) or does each product need a different folder for their sound libraries?
3. Am I missing a setting to define the default sound library directory in each seperate app?
4. What's the best way to delete the whole lot and start from scratch? Just uninstall the apps or do I need to do something else?
