Where are my Max For Live devices???

Post by Nilzie » Wed Jan 11, 2012 10:23 am

Hi everyone,

I just installed the 30-day M4L demo. So this is probably a stuped newbie question... But - nonetheless - can anybody tell me where I can find my Max For Live devices? They should be there under Audio Effects, right? In a folder just under my Looper plugin?

Cheers

After installing the demo at restarting live it presented to you the option of ableton+max demo o it just went to your normal live authorized version?

It presented both options - either start only ableton, or ableton+max demo.

Got it all sorted out now -

I found a page on the Ableton site:

http://www.ableton.com/articles/m4l-device-not-shown

This is taken from that page:

Make sure the Max installation is up to date.
Install the MaxForLiveContent.alp from
OS X: Applications/Max5/support/LivePacks
Win: Max5/support/LivePacks/MaxForLiveContent.alp

And in the process also updated to Live 8.2.7. Might have been that part that did the trick also...

Thanks anyway for your input!

This might be the wrong spot but i figured itd be better than any. ok i bought ableton suit when they had the deal that included max for live. I openned it and played around but closed up and continued with suit. story short i went back to try max a few months later and cant find max in the preferences under the files section dedicated to max. so i cant use it or find it anywhere and its not under my downloads in the ableton website???Someone please help?

Hi,

i have directly this problem. Using Ableton live 8.2.7 and installed Max 5. But nothing in my browser. I use windows 7 and do the steps like writen here, anybody know what can i do?

I tried something. If i start with all Products i can choose Ableton Live wirth Max for live but without autorisation or my normal ableton live. if i choose with max i see all devices but cant export or save anything. If i try to autorisate it he say its already done ... o.0. Pls Help only want to use the APC Sequencer tool :/

Ok ignore my post, now i understand to use this tool i should buy max for live .... damit ^^
