What is an Ableton live pack?
An Ableton Live Pack can contain Live Sets, samples, Clips, and presets, all made specifically for Ableton Live.
You can make your own live packs for sharing projects with other people or archiving your projects. Ableton packs are a gret source of inspiration for Sound design, templates, racks and Ableton Instruments. If you are looking for some ideas check out my free Ableton Packs.
