Hi, In addition to the application folder (the one you drag to the harddisk when installing) there are files in two places ~/Library/Application Support/Ableton/<VERSION> ~/Library/Preferences/Ableton/<VERSION> which you can remove. Live's Library (~/Library/Application Support/Ableton/Library) was ...

Hi intellijel, normally, the new presets are in installed from Live Packs when Live 5 is started for the first time. We know that this does not work in for some users and we are working on a solution. You can look for Live Packs (files ending with .alp) inside the Live 5 installation and try to inst...

Hi meantown,

could you please send me the files

~/Library/Prefrences/Ableton/<LIVE-VERSION>/Log.txt

and

~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Live.crash.log ?

Kind Regards, Friedemann

Hi, please let me ask a couple of questions: when did the presets disappear? - After upgrading from Live 4 to 5? - After installing some new version of Live 5 (did you ever see presets in Live 5?) Are there any installed Live Packs listed in the Prefrences->Products ? Where is Live's Library located...

Hi, can you please provide some additional information: - which OS are you using? - does the problem always happen or only sometimes? - can you record audio in a new (untitled) Live set? Also, you could try to change the location of Live's temporary folder (Prefs->Defaults->Temporary Folder) to a di...

Hi PiLLO, just to make sure, is this what you did? 1) load an impulse (or simpler) preset 2) save the current set self-contained 3) save the preset (using the disk-icon in the device) 4) choose another preset 5) save the set, remove unused samples 6) load the preset that was saved in step 3 => Now t...

Hi lezef, there are still some problems with installing Live-Packs automatically and copying old (Live 4) presets on some machines. We try hard to resolve these. Could you please check the following: - go to Preferences->Products - use the last item in the list ('serach for live packs ...')->serach ...

Hi unknown wanderer, Do you have this problem with several presets or just the one you mention? Did you modify the preset or is it supposed to be the original one? In the latter case the samples should be located in <Library-Path>/Waveforms/Drums/.... Maybe you email me the preset file in question, ...

Hi krank,

thank you for reporting, there seems indeed to be a bug (or inconsistency)
on Mac OS here. We will investigate it.

Kind regards, Friedemann

Hi filter,

could you please send me such a Live Set?

Kind regards, Friedemann

Hi, The behaviour you observe is by design. There is always one folder regarded as the root of Live's library, (that can be set in Prefrences->Misc->Library) This folder is the place where LivePacks are installed. The 'Presets' sub-directory in the Library is accessed through Live's Device-browser a...

Hi Dela,
please see my post in your other thread and try to delete the corrupt
file.

Best regards, Friedemann

Hi Dela,
(assuming you're on Windows) this folder is hidden by default and therefore also excluded from searches. I the search options you can turn
on a switch that also hiiden items are considered.

Best Reagards, Friedemann

Hi All,

Hello All, some plugins 'move their own parameters' e.g. to implement modulations. Since there is no way to see if the changes were done by a real human user or the plugin itself they all will end up in the undo history. If a plugin now changes some parameter let's say 10 times a second, this change...
