• Performance: Modern Macs (M1/M2/M3) manage external Thunderbolt or USB-C drives almost as fast as internal SSDs. The Library Placer allows you to run AD2 directly from an external drive without latency.
• System Integrity: macOS has strict security permissions (TCC - Transparency, Consent, and Control). Moving files manually via Finder can break code signatures. The Library Placer does it cleanly.
• Time Machine Hygiene: Storing massive sample libraries on your boot drive bloats your Time Machine backups. Moving them externally saves cloud space and backup time.

Key macOS concepts to understand

• AD2 stores samples and library metadata in specific folders; installers or the AD2 manager expect certain paths.
• macOS uses volumes and mount points (e.g., /Volumes/ExternalDrive) — ensure drives are formatted as APFS or HFS+ (macOS compatible).
• Permissions and Gatekeeper may block installers or content; you may need to allow access in System Settings > Privacy & Security.
• Symbolic links (symlinks) can let AD2 think libraries are in the default location while physically residing elsewhere.

• Check Disk Utility. If your drive is ExFAT, back it up and reformat to APFS.
• Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access and add Addictive Drums 2 Library Placer.
