Mike thanks so much for the response
you have restored my faith in humanity and i might need your help in the future 🙏🏻
please if you will allow me to make this simple so i can get some sleep tonight with a smile

I have installed the INSTALL MGR on my INTERNAL HARD DRIVE on the MAC MINI .....it only has 1 TB
i then copy and pasted the URL to get the downloads. I proceeded to have these installed on my external SSD 2 TB
so the only part of BIAB that is on the MAC HARD DRIVE is the install MGR because there is no other option!
the rest is on my 2 ( TWO ) TB external drive.
IS this correct !
what am i missing if anything at all ?
i told the the INSTALLER where to put the files ( my external 2 TB SSD ) which installed perfectly
so when i launch BIAB from now on ill have to do it from the HD and it should ( i hope ) run the program ( all the real midi drum etc etc etc tracks/styles ) fine?

please please please opine from the set up that i have explained...

thank you so much

Glenn
