Deleting Demo Sounds

Can I delete all the demo sounds on my library? I get annoyed when I find a sound I like - work with it only to find half an hour later it is only a demo and so becomes unusable.

Thanks

 

Are they all for a particular instrument/product? If so, just uninstall that (assuming you don't and should have a licence for it).

 

"Sounds" can be a variety of things... You have to be more specific.
If you're windows there are uninstaller for particular products; if you're on mac you will have to go about manually deleting a bunch of files. Either way you should remove the particular instrument/product/library, not just the presets.

 

I would like to uninstall all the demos on Native Access - what is the best way of doing that on a Mac?

 

Oh man... it's a PITA.

Cheesus, it's probably gonna be easier to live with them...

 

D-One Is it not possible to edit the database file so that these products at least don't show in the Browser?

 

Never tried, it might possible but I believe it will be added back once you run NA again.
The main step to get of libraries in Maschine Browser is to remove the files .plist under Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > com.native-instruments.*Product Name*.plist. This also will make Native Access believe the library is not installed so just this step can work at least for Kontakt stuff but I do not recommend it. Not sure what happens if it's an FX or a 'main' product that has no dependencies and has its own VST file.

 

Fair enough. Was just a thought, as I remembered you'd messed around with those files before.
