Deleting subfolders of packs

Post by responseunit » Sat Dec 07, 2019 10:04 am

Hi there.

In some Ableton packs I like the samples and sounds and want to keep them, however, there are loops that are also in that pack that I know I will never use. Is it possible to delete the loop subfolders in the Ableton packs whilst retaining the samples and sounds?

Thanks for any help

If anyone wants a solution you can try;

-right clicking on pack you want to edit (in Ableton)
-select show in finder
-once in finder, right click on folder and select show package contents
-delete what you don't want (or edit folder layout)
-make sure you do this under the Ableton folder info-preview file AND the general folder files
-should be removed from both laptop and Ableton pack after that
-hope this makes sense

Also, as I did this on a Mac I'm not sure of the process on windows.

All the best.
