Help!! Locating Samples In Maschine x Logic

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Alright this one is a bit of a doozy, I will try to explain as best I can the issue I am having, would appreciate any help and insight. So I have purchased a new Mac mini coming from an older MacBook Pro. I have a bunch of older sessions I have transferred over to my new Mac to finish working on, I have also copied over my sound library to the new Mac. The issue is that I have sessions that I created with two different save locations for the same sound library. A desktop external hard drive at home and another one I would travel around with, both I would connect to my old MacBook Pro in either instance. What is happening is that Maschine is not locating the samples for any of the older sessions. Being that the three sound libraries I have are all exactly the same, I am trying to make Maschine read the local library on the new Mac mini to populate the samples in the older sessions from my old Mac that I carried over. Confusing, I know.

So I have tried to load the old libraries to then set a singular path so that either session will read the local sound library but to no avail. For some reason the sessions have loaded the samples when I initially do so but once I close and reopen logic it goes right back to not being able to locate the samples. Please help, finishing these projects are super important for me right now. Thanks in advance!

Did you save after the initial success with the samples being loaded?

When you say samples is that literal (one-shots and loops) or is it Instruments also? If it's really just samples and If you still have access to your old computer I'd say save each project with the "Save with samples" option and move those over.

If it's Instruments then something went wrong, Maschine shouldn't care where they're located, NA2 handles where to look for them.

Just one shots & loops, and my old mac is it's own mystery for me right now because no plugins or vsts are opening in logic, that's why I've been trying to find another solution. very frustrated right about now to say the least.

Hummm… Odd, if you just open those projects with the two external drives connected it doesn't find the samples? It should, then you use 'save with samples'.

Did you change the drives names or something?

@marvindolo For a starter, if you have started the projects on an Intel Mac and you are opening them on a new M/silicon mac, remember you'll need to open your projects in Rosetta mode. How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS

If you open Maschine in standalone, are you able to find the samples, plug-ins, etc…

I see that you contacted our support already, which I would have suggested, my colleagues will probably to have a deeper look in your system. My colleague got back to you last Tuesday and is waithing for your reply. Please get back to him.
