Grettings All!

My AudioModern applications are starting to take up space on my mac internal drive. Is there a way to install expansions and sound files to an external drive?

Just to let you know today is day one for me with Soundbox. I initially installed the expansions on my main drive, then moved them to an external drive. In Soundbox, I updated the location, but it didn’t work. What did work was deleting the expansion packs and installing them again, this time on the external drive. Works fine.
