How to Save and Share / Send Ableton Live Projects To Other People

[@lyndabarbermusic]

appreciate your clear detailed explanation of the details!! did I say details enough! so many online tutorials 'assume' stuff that I dont know as a beginner! thank YOU. 🙂

[@mrjoes]

Thanks a lot! This helped a lot. My projects where all saved to the same project folder so I had to re-save them onto my desktop and move them from there.

[@AutumnGardMusic]

I love when I search for ableton videos and see my fellow Beatlab fam pop up :D thanks for this video! Hope you’re doing well!

[@tippififestarr6519]

Just used this video to help my student step into my world, thanks MariGo George's cousin

[@eudolah]

MariGo you are a queen!!! Thank you so much .

[@FrankRhodesOfficial]

[@anuragnegi2256]

this video SAVED ME. I was moving all of my projects from my Mac to my new PC and thought I lost all of my gf's songs!!

[@jdssurf]

Hey bud, so I can drag my writen arrangement view songs to session, put them on a clip, they are for bars in arrangement, but when I put them on a clip, and now I know to click the clip twice and it brings up options to loop it, the bar is longer than 4 so there is a little dead space before it loops around. I have to shorten it manually, what am I missing? Ive used Ableton a couple years but need some back tracking since I mainly write in arrangement.

[@coyoteserranomusic]

Ahh super helpful! I'm so afraid of changing my computer hopefully this works!

[@Westlake72]

When I collect and save a project to archive it should I freeze all my tracks first so that in the future I would still be able still work on tracks that used plugins that were no longer functioning by flattening them, while with tracks that used plugins that were still functioning I could just unfreeze them in order to be able to adjust any plugin settings? Could there be any drawbacks with this approach?

[@swapnilsingh2574]

can i do that for midi clips for windows to mac tansfer

[@provareafare]

Super helpful, thank you!

[@sahil_vns]

Talent as well as beauty........

[@gingerlady11]

fantastic thanks soooo much

[@unicamenteisaac]

Why if I freeze tracks with external VST's, like Serum or Sylenth the other person is unable to hear it, even if it's frozen.

[@Nevir202]

So, I think I understand. But just to be clear, if someone were making a song, and does all this to send it to me, would I ten need to do the same if all I adjusted was timing, etc? Presumably, as they already have all the samples collected, having sent them to me in the first place, I can just then send them the tweaked .als back, and it will work if they put it in the folder?

[@Toshio13337]

Thank you! now i can peform my music live on my laptop :)

[@freddyarmenta9338]

Hey im trying to send my project so me and my friend cand record my vocals at his studi but everytime i send it and open it the guitar is gone just like when you press zero but i folowed all the same steps?

[@marigo5714]

@@freddyarmenta9338 sounds like a collect all and save issue! If they showed up deactivated then the samples weren’t collected properly. Make sure you have all options set to “yes” when you collect all and save.

[@mofomushrooms4973]

For some reason I am doing this but none of my audio files are sending to the other person :(

[@newchurchh]

Can you open these projects in other DAW's like FL studio?

[@osvaaald]

no, you cannot open an ableton DAW file in any other DAW like FL. You would have to send each track by itself as audio. ;))

[@Jackdesj]

This works for Ableton, does it work if you're sharing it with someone who doesn't use Ableton?

[@chillsmith9622]

Thank you, huge help

[@benchris_gb]

I have a really terrible issue and i desperately need help. I've been producing for about a year now and to cut a long story short all my projects are saved within one project (the first one i ever made) I thought it was no problem as it as organised but now that I've come to trying to move and export stems for other computers' and producers to use i realise its become a huge issue as my files are always offline. is there any way i could sort this out, thanks in advance to anyone who knows

[@lorenarodriguez9191]

If I am going to clean up my mac, can I first save my projects as you mentioned and place them on an external drive, and then place the files back to my cleaned up mac? (considering that I re installed Ableton and my current plugins again). Thanks!

[@marigo5714]

Yes you can! Definitely collect all and save if you are moving your project folders around.

[@lebidaimary6199]

Sister, Can I save free project in Ableton DAW??

[@TSJfilms]

So my friend got ableton 11 I got 10 I couldn't open it cus it says he got a higher version

[@unicamenteisaac]

@Mari Sullivan Can I save the projects to an older version?

[@10Trillion707]

I just want share what we did to an email! I’m getting unsupported file when I get the email. I need that to be a playable mp3

[@marigo5714]

Exporting your music as an mp3 or wav is a completely different process! This video explains sharing your Ableton Live projects with someone else who will be opening it in Ableton Live on their own computer.

[@sebastianziak7381]

yer awesome thank you so much

[@whenifeellow]

thank you

[@landryflip3200]

I appreciate the help but how do I actually send it ? Lol Collect all and save, noted.

[@PolymerJones]

They make this really hard. About to jump off Ableton bandwagon after putting thousands into this program lmao , too many limitations . You can’t even program keyboard shortcuts

[@abhi2224]

Tech Genius Hype..^_^

[@harvey8695]

"Collect all and save" is irreversible. Once you choose that option to include sound packs, you cannot undo it to conserve disk space once sharing is no longer needed.

[@robwilk4566]

What's the alternative?

[@prabsprab]

[@oscar10GT]

sounds like a plan

[@hdiggz2062]

I thought the video was helpful.
