Can I simply move a set of realtracks to my external drive from my hard drive and point RealBand to them when needed?
Needing to free some hard drive space and there's plenty on my external drive.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Should be able to. The folders will need to follow the naming conventions that exist right now.
Copy them first, test them, and only then free up the space by erasing.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Yes, I have done this in the past. Just be sure to use rhav’s copy, test then erase method just in case you get a glitch.
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.

Here's what I do on my computer.
1. Let's say I want to put everything on the E: drive (which would be your external drive). I create a folder called RealInstruments. So now I have:
E:\RealInstruments
Assuming your BIAB installation was installed to C:\BB, I then copy C:\BB\Drums to E:\RealInstruments\Drums. I also copy C:\BB\RealTracks to E:\RealInstruments\RealTracks. You should now have:
E:\RealInstruments\Drums, and
E:\RealInstruments\RealTracks
2. Then, in BIAB, I tell BIAB that RealDrums are located at E:\RealInstruments\Drums and RealTracks are located at E:\RealInstruments\RealDrums.
3. Test it out to make sure it works. Once satisifed, delete everything under C:\BB\Drums and C:\BB\RealTracks, but keep those folder names there (even though they are empty. So you should see C:\BB\Drums and C:\BB\RealTracks with no files in them.
4. When you get future BIAB, PTPA, RealBand, RealDrums, or RealTracks updates, the installer program will ask you where everything is. The location of BIAB, PTPA, or RealBand should be where you actually installed them (for example, C:\BB or C:\RB or C:\PT - substitute accordingly), but the location for RealDrums and RealTracks should now be E:\RealInstruments (not E:\RealInstruments\Drums or E:\RealInstruments\RealTracks). The installation program looks for the parent folder of "Drums" and "RealTracks", even though inside the application, it actually wants the exact location (as in step 2 above), so be careful with that.
You should now be all set. Hope that helps.

You can't move just some of them. You need to move all of them.

ok - first try with file move - it did not ask me where they were - just told me they weren't available.
Can't seem to find where to change the realtracks real instrument directory in BIAB.
Any hints? Lost my email from support on it even - ugh...
