How to properly share your Ableton Set
Trying to move your Ableton set between computers, or share with someone else? If you follow these steps your file will always open and work-if not.. good luck :)
Collect All and Save
Sure...you've probably saved your Ableton File (please tell you've done that !!!), but if you're moving your file, you need to Collect All and Save. This collects all the samples in your project from your computer and adds them to the Live Project Folder in a "samples" folder. Here's how:
Navigate to the file menu and choose "Collect All and Save"
If you're using files from a Live Pack choose the "Files from Factory Packs" option, otherwise leave all the settings as is, and click "OK".
Live will search your computer for samples used in the project and will add a "Samples" folder to your Live Project Folder.
Share your Live Project Folder
Now that your project has all of it's included samples, make sure you share your "Live Project" not your "Live Set". Your Live Project folder will include the Live Set and your Samples, and will have everything you need to successfully transfer your file.
Compress your Project Folder
I HIGHLY suggest you compress your file before sending. On Mac, you can right click and choose "Compress" to create a zipped file. (On Windows...uh...google it)
Now...Share It
Now you can share your file via a cloud service, hard drive, floppy disk, zip drive, or whatever method you choose.
Following these steps will ensure that every file you want in your Ableton Set is there.
Watch me do this in real-time and share some bonus tips when using a Cloud Service to share your files👇
Simply load Lyrics (compatible with Live 11X and requires Ableton Suite or Max4 Live) into Ableton Live, Load a text file and line up your lyrics.
Move the floating window to an external monitor and you're good to go. Jump around your set, customize the look/timing of clips, and editing a lyrics is as simple as re-naming a MIDI clip. No more back and forth with your video software.
If you're using tracks and need a teleprompter solution, this is for you!
