Select the NEW folder called "Ableton Live Packs" or similar that you created on your desktop.ĥ. Live will boot up and ask where you would like to install the project folder.Ĥ. Create a separate folder (a blank NEW folder) anywhere on your computer (Desktop works for me) called Ableton Live Packs or something that is easy to find/navigate to.ģ. alp file (live-pack) you are wishing to install, onto your desktop.Ģ.
I figured out how to solve this problem, and it worked with all 18 live-packs I was trying to install.ġ. They only give you the "automated" version which only works for a FEW Live Packs. This is pretty frustrating seeing how the Ableton website tells you nothing about installing Live Packs this way. I have over 10gb of Ableton Live Packs that are just chilling on my desktop that won't install due to the above reasons, as well as Live Packs from loopmasters that I actually purchased. I just want these things installed, and I want all the files/sounds/effects in my library and available to use when creating new music! So far.no damn luck. If I choose the desktop, it installs on the desktop.but then I cannot find any of the files ANYWHERE within Ableton. "The Live Pack "blahblahblahblah" contains a Project and cannot be installed inside another Project" <-this is what happens if I try to install it within a NEW folder within the Ableton Library. It does NOT automatically install it, instead it asks for me to pick a location? So I pick a random location such as desktop or a NEW FOLDER called Live Packs within Ableton Library.Ĥ. I choose the live pack I want to install.ģ.
OR I go to file/install livepack within Ableton while it is already open.Ģ. Either double click the file on my desktop and Ableton automatically opens and attempts to install.
I downloaded tons of Artist Live Packs from the Ableton website in hopes of getting a lot more sounds/effects I can use when creating some music. So.I just got Ableton Live 8 about 2 weeks ago, and am just getting around to using it now.
