How do I keep my core library of sounds on my laptop, and the rest externally?

Hey all,

I have an external SSD which works fine with my Macbook, I'm just wanting to have Logic's factory libraries/samples stoped on my laptop, and all third-party ones (e.g. Spitfire) on the external drive, but have Logic use those samples when that drive is plugged in and available. How do I do that?

(I don't want to relocate my entire library to the drive if it can be helped.)


Thanks in advance,

Joel.

For 3rd party libraries, it should be enough to move the libraries to the external drive, then use a "re-locate" functionality in Native Access ( Kontakt Libraries) or Spitfire Audio app etc to point to the new locations.
