I upgraded to High Sierra and all my user EXS24 samples are not detected anymore by Logic.
I located them, but I cannot seem to find the new(?) location of the default EXS24 sample banks.
Logic Pro X, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
You may have run into this behavior due to the latest file system change.
Did you use to have Logic Pro 9 installed on this computer/system?

Try this if you recognize that your Audio Music Apps folder is an orphaned alias:
open /.HFS+\ Private\ Directory\ Data?/Don't know where the default and custom samples are based and I noticed that I could not detect the new location of the default exs24 sample sets so perhaps spotlight needs more time to index. I installed high sierra yesterday...
And where are the samples themselves? No idea.
Big issue since I earn my living as a composer using my user banks that I built over decades.
Thanks!
Thank you very much Cuauhtemoc for your help. I did exactly what you told me to, but EXS24 still does not discover my 200 something user sample library...Any other idea?
Where are the samples located?
Has Spotlight had the time to index all your drives yet?
Bravo Cuauhtemoc, thanks to your suggestions I was able to restore my entire custom EXS24 library! I did exactly what you told and it just took my Macpro a day to index my huge 20 T drive.
Sounds great Jacob.
I'm glad you're up and running. 🙂
I get The file /.HFS+ Private Directory Data? does not exist.
Sorry it does work. I was doing it on my new mac after migrating from my old Air.
I tried it on the Air and it worked.
I copied the files to my new machine and now have my samples back
Thanks
That's great Ken!
You are not affected of this issue if you are missing this folder.
How to add my user EXS24 sample banks back to the EXS library?
