How to installl third party packs?

[DiZzyY4]

So I bought a sound pack from PrimeLoops.com and the files end in .fxp. When I try to install the packs into Ableton, they do not appear and the folders show up empty in the side screen. But when I view the folder on my hard drive, there are 64 files of sounds. If anyone could tell me how to install the packs correctly I would appreciate it.

.fxp are presets for VST, it is not a Live file format.

You can load them in the plugin itself, or clicking the "Load Preset or Bank" button in the device (round button that has a folder icon) for the few plugins that don't have a preset browser.

Many plugins have a folder where you can put those files, then the plugin finds them and loads them. The plugin's manual should have instructions.

okay I think ive installed them into ableton. Because when I try to drag the files into Ableton it tells me that they're already installed and asks if Id like to overwrite them. But I still cant seem to actually find the plugins. and I read the manual in the folder that the presets came in and it didn't help all too much lol

Don't know what you are doing, but .fxp files can't be installed in Live, they don't show up in Live's Browser.

Presets don't come with the plugins, you need to buy them separately.

Clicking .fxp doesn't open the plugin, you always need to load the plugin first, then load the .fxp with the plugin.

Besides the plugin's manual (plugin's, not preset's):

Each plugin has its own (user) presets folder. Put your preset files there and they will be available inside the plugin.
Some plugins also let you open or import presets from within the plugin.
Read the plugin manual or help to see what the options are and where or how to find the preset location. .
