Just installed Reason 9 and I wondered why the Orkester Soundbank is again in the Reason program folder, talking of Mac here. I now have two Orkester, the other one in the Library/Application Support. Even stranger there I have besides the 8 and 9 Factory Sound Bank a third one for Reason Essentials which I never installed/bought/had.
Do you guys now also have two Orkester Soundbanks in two different locations?

I also noticed that and found it a bit odd. I think its because when you "install" you just drag the folder to Applications, so the sound bank can't be installed to the Library folder yet. When you first start Reason it copies the sound bank to its new location in the Library folder. It actually even deletes ID8.dat from the Applications folder then but keeps the other two files. My guess is that you can delete the sound banks from the Application folder as well without issues.

I don't have any sound banks in my app folder, only in app suport. So I'm guessing we no longer have to move the SB's around for updates?...
Which would be nice.
Now we just need to get em to stop this 'deauthorizae your computer' business for system changes. I get caught out onthat every bloody time.
Well, atcually, not the last time. But still.
