its not that different from osx but it always helps to see the correct paths for understanding the patterns for those who struggle a little, i struggled my self in the beginning so i know exactly how that feels
external HHD`s can be used with great success on both windows and os x, even with sub folders



ok, we need a place to explain and share information on how to for nebula

so we can have it in one place rather than scrolling trough countless of Nebula tip of the Month

ill start with posting a copy of my xml file with path`s for external hdd

this xml is for mac osx

im a Logic Pro X user so its the Nebula3 x64.xml you should start with within the component folder if you use Logic Pro X

if it does not make sense just ask

its all about the ALTERNATIVEDATAPATH
but you should first look at your own xml file located in component folder if you use logic and see whats different
thats the way i did it the first time




MAKE A COPY OF YOUR XML FILE BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE




when you have successfully gotten this to work with the regular nebula xml
you can do the same with the reverb version

but once you understand this you may want to organise your folders within the main nebula libraries folder different than i did it, thats totally up to you




WARNING!!!
INIT.N2P and INIT.N2V must not be deleted,
so you can not delete Vector and Program folders where nebula is installed as those files need to stay in there

everything else in vector and Program folders in the nebula directory should not be a problem to remove and be placed on external HDD

ITS ABSOLUTE IMPORTANT NOT TO DELETE
INIT.N2P and INIT.N2V
WITHIN NEBULA AFTER REMOVING YOUR LIBRARIES FROM THESE FOLDERS VECTOR AND PROGRAM

im not even sure its can be done
but im not giving up hope unless Acustica says it cant be done hehe


it got much better with editing the rom file like Davidgary73 teched me in page one of this thread
i just type in what it is first when i change to the HW name like typing in eq first for all the eq`s then all the eq`s appears in alphabetic order

i would type in EQ RND Portico 5033 instead in the rom file
and do the same for all eq`s, when you do that all eq`s will show up in line together instead of being spread with the exception of those who is in folders

same with comps, i write: Comp Summit audio TLA 100A for example and write Comp before the hw name on all my other comps
and they will show up in line too alphabetically

nebula just care about your first letter in you're custom name in the rom file and place them alphabetically based on that

you can do the same with the ones who is in the folders to of course
but they will not appear together with the ones on page one,
but its much better than nothing,
i really hope theres a way to alter folders
that would be the ultimate solution to keep it perfectly organized

im not sure if this helped though, it seems like you have another system for organizing hehe
