CHAPTER 4. LIVE CONCEPTS 30

Choosing the Library

Bookmark.

The rst time you run Live, it will automatically install its Library to your standard user folder.

You can, of course, move it to a new location. After installation the Library will already

contain a few sound ideas, courtesy of Ableton. We encourage you to experiment with this

material to get a sense of what the program can do, but we do not recommend removing

or changing the contents of the factory Library.

Ableton provides additional Library content in the form of Live Packs which are available

from installation CDs, DVDs or the Ableton website

. Owners of a boxed version of Live can

enjoy the Essential Instrument Collection, a multi-gigabyte library of meticulously sampled

and selected instruments.
