This guide starts by outlining what a sample is and how to use samples & audio loops to make music. (presumably Drum Machines and/or Orchestral packs as well?)After recently going through “ How to load MIDI files into Ableton Live“, we have now designed this easy-to-follow guide to help you learn how to import samples into Ableton Live.

That is of course perfectly do-able in Live 6 but would require navigating to each Library manually in the Preferences, instead of having the locations saved in the drop-down menu. This also makes it easier to use different versions of the Library - for example a slimmed-down version on your laptop's internal drive, and a complete version on an external drive.

What's different in Live 7: The new Library location drop-down menu makes it slightly easier to install future packs to locations you have chosen as libraries. The Live Devices browser is crammed with enough stuff as it is! But with a bookmark saved, it's easy enough. So you need to use one of the three user browsers. The functionality which you're now missing is the ability to open the EIC patches via the Live Devices browser, which can only access the main Library. You could create an \EIC Samples folder and move the entire \Waveforms folder from your EIC installation there. You could move the samples into the Library as well, and not necessarily into the main Library's \Samples\Waveforms folder.
Keep in mind that you may need to repair the presets if you move them. folder into the main Live Library, in which case it could be accessed via the Live Devices browser. folders, which may have had quite a bit of content already. That's because everything gets thrown into the \Instrument Rack\. Some people have complained that after installing the EIC to their main Library, it's hard to tell exactly what it's components are. You now have the entire EIC installed to it's own directory. Actually you could move all of this, but you'd have to repair the presets afterwards by using the File Manager. folder structure, as this is where all the EIC patches will be looking for their samples. You must keep the \EIC\Samples\Waveforms\. \Synth were created during a test installation of the Mallets pack, and I don't think they will have anything to do with an EIC patch. But there may be extraneous folders which are safe for deletion - for example \EIC\Presets\Instruments\Instrument Rack\SoundFX and. You must keep the \Instrument Rack preset folders which pertain to the packs you have installed. If you wish, you may do quite a bit of cleaning up of the \EIC folder. This is how you will access your EIC patches. Navigate down further to the \Instrument Rack presets folder there. Using a user browser icon in Live, navigate to your \EIC folder. Re-open Live, and switch your Library location back to the original. folder which is appropriate to the pack which was installed.Ħ. adg format in the \EIC\Presets\Instruments\Instrument Rack folder. This is where all the EIC sample files will be installed. There will also be some folders created in \EIC\Samples, most notably. (In other words, Live is starting to flesh out it's Library structure in the new location.) \EIC\Presets\Instruments\Instrument Rack\BrassĮven more paths may be created, such as \Operator, \Simpler, etc. folder structures.Īdditional folder structure for the EIC packs, even the ones which you haven't installed yet, may get created even on the first pack's install. Click on a pack to install.Ĭonfirm the install. Select this as the Library location.Īt this point, if you check the new Library location, you'll find that Live has created the following folders:Ĥ. Navigate to or create the directory in which you want to install the pack(s).įor example, create a folder called \EIC. Open Live, go to Preferences -> File / Folder -> Library Path -> BrowseĢ.

I have tried to explain in as much detail as possible, but if looking under the hood does not interest you, this is a painless process. See this thread for two methods of working with those packs off an external drive (or any location outside of your main Library).ĭon't be put off by the length of this post.
