On a Mac, you do not need to use the "Library Placer" tool to link your Addictive Drums 2 sound libraries.
rmdir ~/Library/Application\ Support/XLN\ Audio/Addictive\ Drums\ 2
Note: This folder is hidden by default. Hold the "option" key while clicking "Go" in the Finder menu to reveal it. Troubleshooting Common Setup Issues
The Library Placer defaults to a single location for everything, but you can create symbolic links (symlinks) to mix drives. However, the official XLN method is simpler: Use the Library Placer to set a "Master" location. If you need extreme customization, use macOS's ln -s command in Terminal, though this is only recommended for advanced users.
If you want to save space on your internal drive by moving sound data to an external SSD, follow these steps using the XLN Online Installer:

Furthermore, the Placer does not monitor drive health. If a user relocates their library to a poorly formatted external drive (e.g., FAT32 with a 4 GB file limit), the transfer will fail silently. The utility assumes the destination is correctly formatted as APFS or Mac OS Extended.
