Where are logic audio samples stored?

It depends which samples you are referring to:

All the audio samples based on the EXS24 Sample (including the Drum Kit Designer Samples) are stored in the "EXS Factory Samples" folder and the ones based on the Ultrabeat instrument are stored n the "Ultrabeat Samples" folder.

These are all the Logic factory samples stored in the system directory.

All the user created samples are stored in the user directory ~/Music/ Audio Music Apps/

Audio FIles for the Apple Loops are stored in a different location /Library/Audio/

Hope that helps

Which Library directory are you talking about? The System Library or the User Library.

System Library:

If you drill down from the top level, your hard drive then you should see something similar to my screenshot

User Library:

The User Library is hidden by default. You have to make it visible first to access the Logic folder. When you click on the Go Menu in the Finder, hold down the option key and the Library should appear in the menu. This opens the User Library. However, you don't need that step, because the Logic folder inside the User Library directory is mirrored to the following folder ~/Music/ Audio Music Apps/

Hope that helps

Careful with putting the words System and Library together. I gave a couple of people I know some similar instructions and they went straight to

HD / System / Library

instead of:

HD / Library / Application Support

It was because I said 'Go to your system library (not your user library)'. I can see why they did what they did because they followed my instructions to the letter. I assumed too much. Now I make sure I'm always clear. I forget how a lot of people are a little bit intimidated when digging around for things.

Your instructions, of course, are bang on correct, just thought I'd chime in on an aside.

Good point. I never thought of that.

Do you know if there is a common term for that specific Library, like "Root Level Library Directory"?

Actually, no I don't. Been thinking about this for a while and I think it gets trickier. Changes in the OS make mounted volumes invisible unless you change the Finder prefs to display them so it can even get confusing saying

HD / Library etc.

A coder, I spose, would always say use an absolute path but strictly speaking that would be

/Library/Application Support

or

/Users/<your username>/Library

the first / meaning root, 'most' people though, do recognise the ~ as their own user path, but should we assume this?

Hmmmm, need coffee……..
