Can you easily export custom drum rack?

Post by jonasbj » Wed Apr 07, 2010 10:39 pm

Hello fellow Abletoneres!

Is there any way of exporting a drum rack together with it´s audio files,

with out having to find the audio files and put them in the specific reference location that the drum rack remembers?

Thanks, you rock!

hi

you can create a drum rack complete with drum hits, samples etc and then drag it into your drum rack section in lives browser and it will save the rack complete with samples etc., which you can drag and drop into future live projects

Thanks for your fast reply, but I think I formulated the question wrong.

What I want to do is to store the whole drum rack, including it´s samples in one .adg file so that I can share it with my friends by for example e-mail.

Now it only stores a preset with references to the sample path.

Is this possible?

Keep up the good work!

i would do it something like this

- put the drum rack by itself into a new set
- save as .. drum rack blah blah or whatever you wanna call it
- collect all and save
- go to "file", "manage files", "manage project" and then create live pack

- email the live pack to your friend who can then install the live pack -open the set - drag the drum rack into his browser and export the files to his library by going to "file", "manage files", "manage project" - "export"

there might be a shorter way of doing this -
