![]() ![]() The point is, if you’ve got extra copies of some vstsound archives lurking somewhere, make sure that you do not keep such extraneous copies in a directory that Halion and/or Cubase keeps scanned for content. I reinstalled those user content packs with the Librarian, and they worked as expected, plus, no more popups. So, I moved the fresh archive that seemed to be causing trouble to a location that doesn’t get scanned, and the pop-ups went away. In the past I’d also kept some vstsound archives in here that I often got samples from to build with in Halion 5, but didn’t have any important ‘Halion presets’ stored in…so I’d simply been treating them like MediaBay browseable sample containers. I checked the Media Bay in Cubase, and as suspected, I had toggled this directory for continuous scanning of potential content, since I often keep lots of wav/aiff, and other shorter sample content stored there and like to have it bagged, tagged, and preview ready in Media Bay. So I figured, Halion must still be asking for this content for a reason…but why?Īt some point it hit me, “I wonder what would happen if I move this vstsound archive that I’ve kept lingering in “C:\Samples” to a directory that is NOT set to be scanned by the Cubase Media Bay for content?” I kept getting the popups after doing this, even if I used the Library manager to unregister, and delete the said content from “ProgramData\Steinberg\Content\VSTsound”. I’d installed it with the Halion Library Manger, which also put a fresh copy (I’d asked it to copy rather than move) into the usual “ProgramData\Steinberg\Content\VSTsound” directory that Halion likes to keep things. The catch seems to be that I’d asked the MediaBay in Cubase to keep a continuous scan for any samples and other content stored in “C:\Samples”. I unzipped them to a location (“C:\Samples\Halion\VSTsound”). I had downloaded some User made content packs ( found here) individually at some point. I got this at one point, but tracked it down to what seems to be this: In testing, I install and uninstall lots of things Halion related, and more often than not, reinstalling and cleaning up eLicenser clears things up for me. Over time I’ve learned to start here anytime something Steinberg acts up, particularly after installing new Steinberg software or updates. Even if it’s the latest version, go ahead and download a fresh copy and reinstall. I too feel I would benefit from reinstalling everything to a freshly formatted drive, the thought of taking my original WIn10 ISO to the latest update and all the trouble updates caused is not something I relish, nor is re-installing NI Komplete :-( always try updating eLicenser. ![]() I guess I simply copy across the whole structure folder from c: to d: but shorten the file path eg d:/Libraries/Roaming/Steinberg/Content/Groove Agent|HALion|VST Sound/ and d:/Libraries/Steinberg/Content/Groove but I have read on the internet things can get messy when doing updates as the Steinberg installer can't deal with stuff be register in other than the default locations, though again I guiess that's just a copy and paste issue, and then register the new content in its new location So the difficulty is how do I replicate that structure on my data drive. ![]() I can only assume that a product family, for example Halion6, Halion Sonic, Halion SonicSE all share some content and some content is specific to a single product, eg Halion6 will have more content than its underlings. I cannot understand why Halion and GA have libraries in both the c:/Users//AppData/Roaming/Steinberg/Content/Groove Agent|HALion|VST Sound/ folders and also the c:/ProgramData/Steinberg/Content/Groove Agent|HALion|VST Sound folders, it doesn't make sense, why is content spread over 2 locations So I too am doing the job manually, but I feel the Steinberg setup is a bit of a mess, especially the Halion and Groove Agent libraries. ![]() It reported duplicates, so I used LM to delete the duplicates, which it did, it removed the lot! Luckily I had made backups anyway. I have decided to do it without Library Manager, it seems more trouble than it's worth. ![]()
