Where is the Temporary record directory at in FL studio, i keep getting the message that my c: drive is running out of space when i'm trying to use the fruity slicer so i'd like to change the recording drive to my dedicated audio drive?

thanks in advance

I keep my porn on my external hard drive with DVD backups in triplicate!

thanks teksonik, so is it right that i would need to make a shortcut called recorded that lead to my audio drive which is my H drive, or is that recorded directory only for tempfiles in which case i just need to erase whatever's in there?

this problem came up again on another forum. i believe there is a reg entry that controls where FL puts recorded material, but I forget waht to modify. I'll post back if a defniitive answer is posted on this other forum.

Also, is this w/6.1 or 6.0.8?

if the filesystem is ntfs, use a ntfs junction.

http://www.google.com/search?&q=ntfs%20junction

they are like 'hardware' shortcuts -- not just .lnk files, they are like symbolic links in linux, a pointer to another place. would work.

http://www.funklabs.org/share/linkd.exe

grab that, copy it to c:\windows, then open a command prompt.

then type: linkd

Code: Select all

>linkd
Links an NTFS directory to a target valid object name in Windows 2000.

LINKD Source [/D] Destination

  Source             - Displays the Windows 2000 name targeted by Source

  Source Destination - Links source directory to Destination directory or a
                       Windows 2000 device or any valid Windows 2000 name

  Source /D          - Deletes Source, regardless of whether a link exists at
                       source

  /?                 - Prints this help message

LINKD grafts (links) the target name directly into the name space at Source,
so that Source subsequently acts as a name space junction. The Source directory
must reside on a disk formatted with NTFS in Windows 2000. The destination
(the target of the link) can be any valid directory name or device name or valid
object name in Windows 2000. When the target name does not resolve to a directory
or a device, open calls fail.

All characters in both the Source and Destination names must be in the ASCII
character set. Usage of arbitrary Unicode characters is not supported.

Type "LINKD /? | more" if you need to see all the help text

so the syntax is: linkd <where you want your junction> -- in this case you want it in that temporary audio recording folder, and then a space followed by where you want it to really point.

before continuing BACKUP your "recorded" folders contents as it is now!

so: cd "C:\Program Files\Image-Line\FL Studio 6\Data\Patches" <enter>

then: rd /s recorded <enter> (need to remove the recorded directory since we are gonna trick fl to use junction instead)

finally: linkd recorded d:\fl_audio (replace this with your destination) <enter>

here i'll do it and show the log:

Code: Select all

C:\>cd "C:\Program Files\Image-Line\FL Studio 6\Data\Patches"

C:\Program Files\Image-Line\FL Studio 6\Data\Patches>rd /s recorded
recorded, Are you sure (Y/N)? y

replace <enter> with literal enter keypress

also make sure you do not ever delete the C:\Program Files\Image-Line\FL Studio 6\Data\Patches\Recorded folder (or let an uninstaller do it) without FIRST removing the ntfs junction thusly:

Code: Select all

>linkd recorded /d
The delete operation succeeded.

C:\Program Files\Image-Line\FL Studio 6\Data\Patches>

because junctions are just pointers, and it would delete all the contents IN the destination (in my case m:\temp\FLStudio would be wiped!

so be careful.
