You can of course also move, remove or rename any les or folders residing in the Library,
whether you have put them there yourself or they have been installed from a Factory Live
Pack the Library is intended to be your own Live space.
By default, the Live 7 Library contains the following sub-folders:
Ableton Project Info contains les that Live uses to identify the Library as a Project,
which allows it to be manageable using the File Manager. It also contains logs that
keep track of what Live Packs have been installed.
Clips contains the Live Clips that are installed as part of the Live 7 Basics pack.
Defaults presets placed into the default device folders will load in place of Live's
generic device settings. Additionally, the Defaults folder contains several special
folders corresponding to user actions such as slicing and sample dropping. Presets
placed in these folders dene what Live will do when you perform the action.
Lessons all of Live's built-in lessons, as well as any additional images and Live Sets
that the lessons refer to. You should not change anything in this sub-folder. If you
wish to uninstall or reinstall the Lessons, you should do so from the Products tab in the
Preferences menu.
Presets contains all of the factory presets for Live's devices.
Samples contains all of the samples that are used by Live's presets.
Sets all of the demo songs and the samples that are used by them.
After you've been using Live for a while, you'll probably nd that there are additional
folders in your Library. This is normal. Installing Live Packs, recording your own samples, or
performing other common procedures will change the folder structure over time.
