Ableton Forum

Hello All,

Just purchased Live 8 DL and was wondering which Live Packs from the Ableton site I should be downloading and installing? Main reason I ask, I want to make sure I have all the available presets, etc., but don't want to be installing 2 or 3 copies of stuff...so I guess I'm wondering what was included and I should not bother downloading and installing...or, also what would be redundant (packs that are different but contain the same stuff in them). Also, if I do install something redundant to the library, will both copies exist or will the latest install overwrite the last one?

Thanks for your help!!!

My Download was over 1gb and included all the presets (I think)

Was yours Live or Live Suite? Mine was just Live and was only around 300MB or so

Suite

You can download all presets from the Ableton main site. you want free download or you want to pay?

For starters free but do plan on buying some also...I was mainly asking about the ableton produced stuff...I just see Legacy 7, Basics, etc. on the download page and wasn't sure if some contain the same thing? I also have been to puremagnetik and will probably subscribe there to get the goodies.

Thanks!!!

I understand your question, Mation, and in ableton site it's not clear which versions of live packs you have downloaded or which are new...
I've download and archive all the packs into my harddrive organized, and I hope Ableton highlights the new packs.
