Ableton Forum

using ableton live 9 with windows have all my vst's in one folder but that hard drive is getting maxed out even though i upgraded to a larger one. i can't seem to see a way to have multiple folders for my plug-in custom folder because ableton only gives me one choice for a custom folder i want to ge...

i guess i could also just replace the 250GB SSD M.2 that came with the computer with a 1TB internal M.2 before taking it out bounce everything currently on the 250GB SSD onto the internal HDD that has plenty of space and then make a recovery flash drive to boot off of for after i swap the SSD's sinc...

thanks for input: so could i just put all my recording stuff on the external so i wouldn't have to stress out the internal 250GB SSD (i can run it through usb 3 or the USB type C port i could just keep the operating system on the internal SSD and other various non-musical programs on it. i use ablet...

thanks so much for response. couple questions.: sounds like i should bite bullet and get a 1TB SSD. any suggestions on brand model. guessing i need a 2.5 for a desktop is an external SSD ill advised? any suggestions on how to clone over what i have on SSD now to the new drive. should i just bounce e...

so using alive 9 and have a windows 10 computer with enough ram and a 250 SSD and a 2 TB HD have been good to go for a long time but have purchased native complete which is over 400GB storage. i now have all my program files on the 250 SSD and my data on the 2TB HD only have about 40 GB left of spac...

looks like Arq isn't set up for windows quite yet. (i am using windows)
when you say the caveat of backblaze is "have to be prepared" not sure what you mean by that. i don't mind a little work at end of session.

thanks for tip on backblaze. i had a well known back up service (carbonite) only to find out that they don't back up all the files in a folder you have set for backup. after speaking with their tech people they confirmed that they don't back up files that you update to. say i have a track/project i ...

had a computer crash years ago that put the fear into me. getting along in years on SSD and wondering if i am backing up all that needs to be. if i haven't changed anything from the way live would store things by default. if i back up the "ableton" folder on my hard drive am i getting ever...

seriously considering getting a avid eleven rack due to a price drop and wondered if any one had any issues using it with ableton live. it says plug and play with pro tools and was curious if there were any issues with using it with ableton. any info or experience with using it would be much appreci...

hi, yes, i can do that to individual files/projects but i have carbonite set up for daily automatic backup's. sometimes i work on 20 projects in one day. i am trying to find a way for this to be done automatically and not to individually create new files constantly. just thought there was a way to h...

so i had a backup system with a company that went out of home use biz and i transferred over to CARBONITE cause of a deal i was offered. only to find out that for some reason it won't back up my ableton project files. we went through troubleshooting to find that for some reason ableton project ALS f...

funny that just happened to me today also. i just saved my work, closed live and then re-opened and they were back. i am sure you have tried this but if not.....

i came to live from nothing (other than archaic tape recorders). if you come in fresh like that you don't have to unlearn things or get caught up in the "what's missing" black hole. made it much easier i suspect.
good luck.

by far one of the best upgrades i have ever done. the speed in loading is amazing compared to regular hard drive. don't even think about it (other than logistics of course) do it.
