  • Will Command Center support preferred installation destinations?

In other words, if I use Command Center, can I install everything where I want to? (For example, software in c:/music software, other resources on d: and audio data/samples on e: drives)

This is EXACTLY my issue with CC. I've got a smaller SSD OS drive, but HUGE drives where I store content and another where I store programming.

HOW does one tell command center where to install the various programs? I do NOT want my OS drive bogged down or overwhelmed. I went to settings and it gave options where to install plugins ... but that's it.

How do I direct it as to where to put both programming and content (which are separate drives on my system)?

I need to know this before I can install any further programming, and it winds up where I don't want it.

I did search for a solution for this, but gave up after nothing really answered this simple question ... most of the other threads wanted to know how to get a standalone installation.

I don't mind using CC, as my system is connected to the net ... but it is essential for me to be able to determine what drives to install what where.

This is actually a big deal to a lot of users.  I certainly hope we're not expected to use a workaround/registry hack for something so basic.

HUGE friggin deal to me...I like the OP run a smaller SSD for OS and proggys, I spent an hour last night moving "Cakewalk content" to my multi-terabyte storage drive which is where I want to keep stuff...command center is unwieldy, uncooperative and a complete waste of time in a real studio.

Weird, when I upgraded the Cakewalk content went straight to a folder under my D drive where it belongs.
The cog icon allowed me the specify the VST file path settings before upgrading.
 
Maybe I have a later version of CCC?

Or the cog icon went unnoticed by some.  This is the kind of thing that should be made VERY CLEAR in the program.

IIRC when using the downladed installers (from your store account) first (not CCC) you can specifiy and from that point on I understand CCC to "know" where to do updates.
 
I also recall somewhere a baker saying that CCC will be updated to allow you to specify locations. I know that doesn't help today.
