New MacBook Pro how to link Logic Pro to external content

Hi,


I just received my new MacBook Pro. I migrated my user account and reinstalled Logic Pro as I'm moving from Intel to Silicon platform. On my Intel MBP I had my Logic content relocated to an external drive but this doesn't show up in the new installed version on my Silicon MBP.

How can I update Logic to use this external drive with the existing content without redownloading 20GB+ of data?


Kind regards, Wido

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

There is a way to do it. I found someone that could explain how to do it better than me in an older forum question


"I'd suggest the following to deal with your dilemma: rename the current "Library" folder on external drive to something else like "Temp_Library" (Logic won't grey out the drive after that). After that close Logic app and disconnect the external drive. Relaunch Logic and let it download and install Essential Sound library to system drive. This will wipe symbolic links created during previous library relocation. When Essential Sounds library is installed, connect the external drive and perform the relocation (just Essential Sounds will be relocated, which is needed to restore the symbolic links). Now, delete the library folder containing just the Essential Sounds and rename the folder containing full library from "Temp_Library" back to "Library"."
