Hey,

I just downloaded the 6.1 upgrade (from Live Lite 40 and I'm trying to play some of the drum sounds using Impulse and the waveforms from the waveform drum folder. I'm getting a missing samples notice and can't seem to locate them. They aren't in my library folders. The folders are there but the files are missing.

Do these samples not come with the upgrade?

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you downloaded the live packs from here?

I’d try installing all the live packs, the impulse and Live 4 compatibility packs may solve your problem.

I really think that Live 6 should automatically make a backup copy of any previous library it comes across when it installs the new library.


Having had a look at the difference between my old Live 5 Library and the newly created Live 6 Library it seem that my Live library is now a bit of a shambles.
I seem to have asd files with no associated sound files, that being just on of anomalies, apparently they have also changed the names of some of files with the different version of Live as well.


According to my spies they have a tombola in ableton office, in which they have all the various ways the Library could work and for each new version of Live a lucky employee gets to randomly pick out a new way for the Library to work in the new version.
The “tombolableton” is also used when deciding which user requested features are going to be implemented too.

Hey,

Thanks for the advice. I actually found the problem a while later. when I first opened up Live 6 it stalled during installation so I re started it. By doing that it didn't fully load the library folder.

So - I reinstalled it and now it's good.

sorry I missed it the first time.

Thanks again!
