Maschine was taking way too long to shut down, so I did a proper complete-uninstall and re-install of Maschine software, and every time I try to reinstall it, my user content does not show up. When I go to the library tab in preferences, there is no user content entry.
For those who don't know, this is a default folder that Maschine creates, and it cannot be created manually. (If you try to manually add it, then Maschine says I cannot add a folder that is already there.) This means Maschine cannot access any of my endless user content. I have tried reinstalling Maschine 4 times with no change. The last time, I watched in finder while the Maschine installation created a User Content folder, and still, the Maschine app won't read it.
Yes, full disk access is on.
This has happened before on a completely different laptop, and N.I. tech support never found a solution other than me completely wiping my computer, which, with 100's of GB's of software that can only be downloaded from Native Access, means months to recover. I can't keep doing this and it seems like a serious bug with Maschine or their installation procedure. I figure that, if tech support hasn't figured it out, maybe someone here has ideas.
