Hi
I just purchased a laptop with classic 128GB SSD C: and 1TB D: drive.
First venture into this.
So I know I have to install programs on D drive to keep space on C:, but after install on the D:, the soundbank went into C, can I move these on the D:.
I have downloded a rack extention to see where it goes, but I cant find it, and I cant seem to choose where to put them. is these a way to know if they are on the D: drive and if not, can I move them there.

Windows 10 RackExtensions location:
C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Propellerhead Software/RackExtensions
C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Propellerhead Software/RackExtensions
I would move them to a drive with more space using junctions...in case you haven't done it yet:mind2069 wrote:How do you guys manage limited ssd space for rack extentions and soundbanks
Use the following for implementing a Junction-Point:
1. Copy "C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Propellerhead Software/RackExtensions" to the desired location, e.g. "F:\RackExtensions".
2. Rename
"C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Propellerhead Software/RackExtensions" to "C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Propellerhead Software/_RackExtensions".
3. Open a Commandline as Administrator (Start->Type "CMD"->Right Click->"Run as Administrator").
4. Enter the following command, then press Enter: cd "C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Propellerhead Software/"
5. Enter the following command, then press Enter: mklink /j RackExtensions F:\RackExtensions
6. Start Reason, if everything is running well, you may remove the backup (Step 2 "C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Propellerhead Software/_RackExtensions")
Please replace "F:\RackExtensions" with the desired location!

You could do but it won't work, you have to create a junction for it.mreese80 wrote:thanks for the tip. can't i just copy this folder to my external and create a shortcut for it?
Step 4 and 5 can be merged as one step
instead of
4. Enter the following command, then press Enter: cd "C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Propellerhead Software/"
5. Enter the following command, then press Enter: mklink /j RackExtensions F:\RackExtensions
4. Enter the following command, then press Enter:
mklink /j "C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Propellerhead Software/RackExtensions" "F:\RackExtensions"

Make sure that Reason is NOT open.Irelle wrote:hi guys,
For those who did not really understand how to move REs...how do I do that? I have Win7. Thanks!
1) Start explorer and copy this to the address bar %appdata%\Propellerhead Software
This will take you to the Propellerhead Software subdirectory..
2) Right click on the sub directory "RackExtensions" and select "Cut" navigate to where you want to copy the data to i.e. d:\, right click and select paste.
Then follow OldGoats instructions.
3) Open a Commandline as Administrator (Start->Type "CMD"->Right Click->"Run as Administrator").
4. Enter the following command, then press Enter:
mklink /j "%appdata%\RackExtensions" "D:\RackExtensions"
Note: replace YOURUSERNAME with your login name to Windows, and replace D:\ with the location to where you pasted the RE in step 2.

Thanks for this - I am installing Reason 10.4 on a new machine.
Q1 Can you not choose a different directory to begin with when downloading your account RE'S
Q2 If I trial / purchase a new RE where will that be downloaded to initially?

Good info here, we've got a function built into our right-click on Windows Explorer so it's way easier (check the section "How to Create Symbolic Links with a Graphical Tool")
