*** If you are using a custom location, such as an external drive, for installing sound sets, please note the following:
Custom user location:
Fender Studio Pro does not reset the file paths, it always uses the default User Data location (which you can set yourself) and an additional shared location to store the sound sets. If you re-connect a disconnected external drive you will need to set the location in the Installation dialog to the external drive path, so that when you download content, such as sound sets, everything gets installed to the correct place.
OneDrive:
If OneDrive syncs the Documents folder, Windows puts the Documents folder in the OneDrive folder and changes the actual file path this way. This is Operating System behavior and not something Fender Studio Pro can control. To fix this, we recommend that you do not sync in this way. So, remove the Documents folder from OneDrive.
A solution is to have a manual sync folder where you daily drag your song folders into instead of syncing your library folders such as Documents in OneDrive. ***
