I got a 4tb SSD the other day just for Native instruments content and was confronted with the spread of where NI puts everything. It doesn't make sense. I have my NI application folder and content folder. In the age of SSD, why isn't there an option to unify them?
It doesn't make sense half the time. In the content folder, there are a lot of sound packs and instruments, but there are also a ton of sound packs and instruments in the NI application folder. I could understand if NI was going back the logic that the internal drive will be faster for content, but Glaze (which is in the content folder) is under 2 gigs while the Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass Library is in the applications folder and that taps out at almost 8 gigs. It just doesn't make any sense.
I would like to see a unified location where we have everything in one folder organized by instrument, sound packs, and presets. That's another thing, why are the presets in the documents folder?
It just seems like there is a better way to do this. Esp we have to create a new user or, a myriad of reasons why this makes sense. I know I can't be alone in this.
