Trying to retrieve my library and user files from ableton

Post by henrya » Mon Oct 29, 2018 8:41 pm

Hey guys,

So my Mac book Pro suddenly broke. I am able to access the hard drive.

I have downloaded Ableton again but all my sounds and user library have gone.

How can I get all these sounds back ?

Please help.

Thank you .

What sounds?

User Library is the library where the user (that would be you) stores their own personal collection. That stuff is backed up using your own personalised backup method and is not available from your Live account so if you have not created backups and you have a computer crash, you are a little screwed there.

If the sounds you speak of are the packs that you get with Suite or that you purchase from Ableton then these should be in your account and also installable through Live itself under packs (in Live 10 anyway).
