MY music mate just wrote to the people at Ableton about our set building troubles. They say that it is not possible to do what we want to do using version 5.
We are downloading the upgrade to 6.5 now.
mmm, I'll be in the studio 2morrow, will give it another shot.
It would be great if i could pull it of before my next gig.
It would save some time loading the sets and let me concentrate on other thing, like patch changes on my old analog gear.

Are you using 6? on a Mac? was it working for you in 5?
well it's not exatly wat we were looking for, but thanks for the reply. we want to import the .als files into a new liveset. It doesn't seem to be supported in version 5, don't know if it's supported in 6.

I'm running Live 5, on an apple powerbook, with an external firewire audiophile sound card.
The songs which I have created contain multiple midi and audio tracks. Each of the songs is saved as a SET. I have midi and mixer automation programed on some of the tracks. Now I ...
well basically, I want to import my tracks into live cause from what i hear it's the best proggy for live performance. which is the next step for us to take with our hobby.
Most of our tracks are midi tracks to our midi gear. there are a few VST instruments and some samples but most is midi.
