Help diagnosing issue storing virtual instruments

Post by ljCharlie »

I'm running MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 with Native Instrument application called Native Access to install my virtual instruments. Every time I tried to install the instruments on the mapped network drive, it'll failed. However, if I try to install the instruments locally, it works fine. Anyway suggestion? Is this an MacOS issue, Native Instrument, or QNAP?

Probably a question for the manufacturer of whatever app that is (they might not support network locations)

From their web site

https://support.native-instruments.com/ ... sk-Formats

https://support.native-instruments.com/ ... ing-Error-

Simply put they categorically state that only internal drives are supported.

Then you can use the NAS only if you connect by iSCSI - if this would be an option.

Yeah, it seemed that is the case. I found other threads that people have similar issues but if it's Windows then there's registry hack that can get around that. However, I'm using a Mac so option there.

Wasn't there an option in Qnap where I can setup the drive to appear as an internal drive? I thought I came across something like that when setting up my Qnap.

Do you know of any iSCSI that will work with M1 Max running MacOS Ventura? I'm trying to look for one but a couple I've found are quire pricy and I don't know if they'll work too.
