Samples for racks - where do they go?

Post by tigersound » Wed Feb 07, 2007 8:04 pm

Hi folks,

I am a relative newcomer to Live6 - having just upgraded from 5. I have been tinkering with racks, and downloading a few folks' from the forum. Many of these come with additional samples. What I want to know is...where do these sample files go?

On my Mac, my Ableton Folder structure looks like:
Application Support>
Ableton>
Library>
Samples>Processed/Recorded/Waveforms

But I also have:
Application Support>
Ableton>
Library>
Waveforms>Bass/Bleep/brass/Choir?drum etc etc


Do they go in the Library>Samples>Recorded/Processed/Waveforms folder? (if so, which one?)

or in the Library>waveforms>Bass (for example) folder?

What I can't work out is why I seem to have two different Waveforms folders containing different files in the same library.

Is this me just being stupid or is there a reason for this?

Anyhow...I'm sure i'm just being daft, but any help appreciated. For the moment, every time I load a rack, I have to manually locate the samples. Surely this is not right?

Any help appreciated,
Thanks
