(Unfortunately, this is not documented and explained very well.) It neither tells the "Loops" manager where to look for soundpools (which is driven via a database that you can add to via a function under the "Loops" tab), nor does it tell the in-app store where to install future soundpool downloads. However, this folder setting only tell the Song Maker where to look for soundpools. I assume you're referring to the "Soundpool" folder in the "Folders" tab of Music Maker's program settings. PLEASE ALSO NOTE: When you say you successfully changed the location for the soundpool installation, I think that's probably a misunderstanding.

(MAGIX video editing and slideshow programs are now also starting to adopt this concept.) Future instrument and soundpool installations through the in-app store (current Music Makers) or program installers & content downloaders (old Music Makers, Samplitude/Music Studio, ACID) will then be using the location of your choice. Now, if you perform a fresh Music Maker or Samplitude Music Studio installation again, you should find that you can, once again, customise the location of this global "Common" folder in the advanced installation options. If you really need to relocate this to a different location/drive, you'd need to uninstall all relevant MAGIX programs, and uninstall *all* of the content managed in that location via the "MAGIX Content and Soundpools" option in Windows' list of installation applications, until eventually that entry completely appears from the list.

When you run subsequent MAGIX software installations, you can still access the customised installation screen in the installer, and maybe change other relevant program folders, but you won't be able to change the location for this particular shared folder.

However, here's the catch: This being a centralised, global location, it can only be changed when installing the first piece of MAGIX software that is using it on your system. This default location can be modified via the custom installation option when installing a MAGIX program making use of that location, like Music Maker. This would be the default path for that location, containing the various sub folders for soundpools, synths etc.: For the past few generations (starting in Music Maker 2013), MAGIX music programs have been using a centralised, shared location for the storage of various content components (mainly the software instruments and soundpools that come with the software or are now installed via the in-app store in Music Maker).
