Where are the tutorials?...

Post by Jean-Francois Charles » Thu Oct 01, 2009 1:16 pm

Hi there,
Just installed the most recent beta (Live & Max).
I assume the tutorials are still supposed to be in Max5/Examples/M4L.Examples/Devices, are they?
But in there, for instance when I open the folder "BeatGenerator.tutorial Project" (same with the others), I see internal folders (Max Devices, Samples...) but no Ableton Live file that I can open. The sub-folder "Max Devices" also contains no device.
Normal?
I must be looking in the wrong place. Let me know where I should look, thanks!

The tutorial files moved to the Ableton Library/Lessons. If you can't see them there, install the MaxForLive pack by double-clicking on Max5 folder/support/LivePacks/MaxForLive.alp.

Hi Jean-Francois,

Unless we have a bug, you should have been prompted to install the MaxForLive.alp Live Pack automatically when launching Live for the first time after installing both of the latest betas.

Did this not happen?

Thanks,

I can confirm that there are no .als files in Ableton Library beta/Lessons. (in my case I made a copy of the library and renamed. I checked if they where in the old 8.0.5. lib but no.)
There are folders and sub-folders text files and tiffs.

OK, got it.

Yes, that worked fine.

@ djod:
The lessons are in the "Sets" sub-folder in the "Lessons" folder. But the way to access them is to have the right pane open (Menu Help -> Help View) then to click on "Next page" until you find the live set you want to load.

Thanks.

Dennis, I was never prompted to install the tutorial pack when going from 8.1b3 to 8.1b4 on OSX 10.5.8.

I had to spelunk for it and install it manually.

Same experience over here. Sounds like there's a bug.
