Logic Pro OS Sound Library for shared macs

[MatTheTech]

Hi all, quick question. wondered if anyone has come across this and worked out. We have shared apple macs with students who use logic for their music lessons.

 

We're finding that students sometimes download their own copy of the logic sound library.  I've tried the following to try to force script/jamf deploy config settings to ensure students pull from one central sound library on thew mac...

 

- Tried Alias/symlinks but it transpires that Logic doesn't support this method.

- I did a jamf composer package to look at new and modified files, and found when i change the sound library that logic updates a book mark file with the new library path. that however doesn't seem to work proerly when I deploy to others users despite doing the corrcet permissions.

 

Has anyone encountered this issue and found a fix for it. All I basically want is to configure all users on a mac to automatically use the same sound library location rather than relying on them to manually pick the shared location.

 

path is in "/Users/Shared/Logic-Sound-Library". I just want every new and existing user to automatically point to this path.

We've come across this recently, but no resolution found just yet. 
We manage our macs using Mosyle, and I've tried a handful of different custom commands to try and use symlinks but had no success. 

We've placed our sound library in the exact same location (User/Shared) and users can select it manually, but we'd much rather they didnt have to! 
Our devices only have 256gb storage, so these 7GB library bundle files created per user really aren't helping us 😕

Seeing the exact same here - seems like a major oversight on Apple's part. We haven't found a resolution as of yet.

 

We were previously users of the loops.sh script and were advised to submit feedback through the Feedback Assistant app. This is what we heard back (yet to try it):

 

 

Edit: It seems that moving 'Logic Pro Library.bundle' to /Users/Shared is enough to stop Logic creating it in ~/Music.
