How does that help ? Currently I use that for consolidating and editing samples only

Help you? I haven't got the slightest clue what your issue is. Was replying to the OP regarding a better way to delete sounds instead of directly from Windows Explorer, making them unplayable in Live. This feature allows a user to remove unused samples from a Live Set, without physically deleting them. I think that's likely how it helps the OP who asked initially.

cheers!

Ahh I see, i apologize, I misunderstand the relation of the answer

hm but I didnt searched for an opportunity to remove unused samples from a Live Set, I used for a opportunity to remove them from the ableton browser. Every time I start searching for sounds for a new song I'm totally annoyed from the most sounds and I would never use them. So I would like to remove them completly

Guess your question/post wasn't too clear about what you were trying to do in the first place.

I generally don't start making music by flipping through preset sounds, so I'm not much help in trying to remove factory content or partner pack content from the browser - which seems like your issue.

you could indeed remove the packs. I also tried that. But some factory sounds are nice, so we would have to manually sort them :/ and keep the good ones

I've got a default template setup with a couple drum kits I put together in racks and my go-to synth vst initialized & fresh. Also a few sends setup for functions I use often in a mix like delays, reverb, etc. I use a QuNeo midi controller and have a track setup with the vst Turnado by SugarBytes which allows me to mangle any samples by triggering multiple effects. Basically almost everything I need to start, yet 'nothing' at all in terms of actual music save for my drum kits

There's really no right or wrong way, but I'd bet if you were to think about all the devices or effects you use often, and setup a couple solid drum kits using sounds you like it would streamline the process and you could spend less time in the browser scrolling through sounds and just jump right into making music
