Ableton Forum

I purchased the Ableton Suite and installed it. I'm a bit confused as to the Live Packs and other add-ons that I should, or shouldn't(?) install. I see some Live Packs have copyrights on them.

What additional files do I need to download off the site to get the full version of the software with all included files/extras?

Thanks!!

this will get Live to call home and update your Library, install things you own but didn't install, etc. from time to time Ableton updates the Library for even simple things like making their names shorter and more sane.

install whatever you want. forget the copyright issues, if you have concerns over that start a new thread. just make music, when you make that shit hit smash tune then worry about the legal stuff. I think those copyrights are only so you don't turn around and sell the samples yourself. you can make songs from those samples as a 'derivative work of art.' AFAIK...

Ahh, thank you very much, Mr. Deft. Very helpful.

good luck, I should have mentioned that this process can take HOURS. start it before you go to bed, get it rolling and check on it the next morning.

cheers!
