installing individual instruments

sinobi

Hi, I'm new here, I have installed kontakt on my basic mac mini m1 , as for some reason I couldn't get kontakt to install on my hd, so I put it on to the mac installed intruments one at a time. My mac is now really slow, so I moved the directorys to my hd, can I just install instruments as needed on my mac now? is it ok to delete them from the mac then and re download if needed. would this be best practise?

If you mean the individual libraries, it is safe.

But if you mean individual files and instruments from a single library, then it is not safe.

hi thabks for the response, so now the directory is on my hd, i want to free up space on my computer as individual instruments are installed there. uninstall the instrument and then move it on to my hd so it is safe? could i redownload an instrument if i deleted from my computer without putting it on to my hd? could you clarify what is not safe please? I appreciate it a lot. thanks

Well, if you mean that you want to basically divide the instrument's libraries in half and then put these 2 halfs into 2 different drives, then it is not safe and it is rather risky.

having a frustrating time figuring out how to setup komplete 14 ultimate properly, I need to know if i put my library on to my hd, and if you dont have much space on your computer, should you install instruments individually on to there and then uninstall and delete them off your computers hd? will this cause any problems

and what is not safe? if i delete an instrument i can't access it again???
