I just received my 2024 Audiophile drive — thanks!

I store Drums and Real Tracks on an external SSD. Although many Real Tracks folders have similar but not identical names, I am assuming that I just replace the older folders with the 2024 versions on my external, correct? I have merged them in the past overwriting only those with identical names.

My other question is about what to install onto the new PGM supplied drive besides the Bonus pack. I have all of the the available add-on Style and Extras packs. They are installed on my Mac — should I also install them onto the new drive I got today or are they already there?

I do have all of those installers saved since 2016 and I bought those that I didn't already have so it just takes some time, that's all.

Thanks!

You should find a consolidated link in your account for the Xtra Styles. You should download and install those to your external volume as they aren't present already.

Yes, you can copy and paste/Merge using Finder - that works well enough, without having to use any third party tool or rsync in the terminal.

No problems there other than a few installers from 2018 that do not show up on the list but I have everything archived anyway.

I've been doing this since 2017 but that wasn't my question. Is there any advantage to doing so with Real Tracks and Drums in the 2024 Audiophile version? Are there tracks in those older versions not found in BIAB 2024? If the answer is, Yes, then I will merge away.

Sorry, if I didn't make myself clear.

Thanks,

Mike
