We recommend installing them to a unique folder&nbsp;<em>(e.g., Toontrack Sounds)<\/em>&nbsp;on a dedicated solid-state or 7,200 RPM external hard drive, but your internal hard drive will work, too. Once the sound libraries are installed, use the Product Manager\u2019s Clean Up feature to delete the installer files and get some storage space back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Related-Content\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft noUnderline customh2 swheader\">Related Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Superior Drummer 3 Quickstart Guide (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/getting-started-with-superior-drummer-3\/\" target=\"_blank\">Superior Drummer 3 Quickstart Guide<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"EZ Drummer 2 Quickstart Guide (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/getting-started-with-ezdrummer-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">EZ Drummer 2 Quickstart Guide<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"Additional-Resources\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft noUnderline customh3 swheader\">Additional Resources<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Superior Drummer YouTube playlist (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLo2KHWmTuFk4ZItrxksx-dbTaos7Kkjz5\" target=\"_blank\">Superior Drummer YouTube playlist<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLo2KHWmTuFk5QV_FdCVAZDYJvyHr4z_pp\">EZdrummer 2 YouTube playlist<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"EZkeys YouTube playlist (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLo2KHWmTuFk41LFpNbobyR_I3z1fJn4mb\" target=\"_blank\">EZkeys YouTube playlist<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLo2KHWmTuFk7937PJ1fMz-WL4aK6wWKhK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"EZmix YouTube playlist (opens in a new tab)\">EZmix YouTube playlist<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1747664,"template":"","categories":[429786,7],"tags":[53757,54769,53990,53992,70114,56185,56184,54779,35161,55060,34954,53812,142715,131759,209555,54634,36528,101159,115960],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33812],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In this guide, we will show you how to register and install software from Toontrack.
