Of course, version 2021 is expected to add more, but at the rate they have increased, 2 TB should be fine for several more years. I copied two folders under the /BB main folder: /Drums /RealTracks Takes awhile... Then you just go into Preferences, RealTracks and point to the new location. Do the same for RealDrums. ps If BIAB 2021 comes out within 30 days of your purchase of 2020, give Sales a shout. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors

And store the original hard drive for backup. But I'm not sure. I have not installed anything on the computer that I'll be using. So, should I do that first? are you telling me that the only thing I need to copy is the RealTracs and drum tracks and just play those from the SSD? I do or I do not need to copy anything else? I just want to get this part finished at the beginning so I don't have to redo it later.

If it is the C drive then your will have to copy the entire BiaB drive on to it. But if the SSD is a drive other than the C drive then you would install BiaB on the C drive and the RDs and RTs on the other drive, i.e. your 2TB SSD. I hope this makes sense to you. You know you're getting old when a recliner and a heating pad is your idea of a hot date! 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
