Then what I do is I scroll down and see the packs I’ve got. You have got your account here and you can see I’ve got my “Live 10 Suite” on here. What I’m going to do on that is, I can go under “Not yet downloaded” on Ableton, and it looks like this. I’d like to take a look at this “Orchestral Strings” one because I’ve been looking for some orchestral strings. The more stuff I get, the harder it is to browse through it, but at the same time, I know it’s time to start getting some new stuff or get to know the stuff I have better when I’m starting to struggle to find things. I find it’s a little harder to use Ableton. It’s nice to read about each of these packs before blindly installing them. The problem is you can’t actually use Ableton while it’s doing that, so if you are around the house, the office or studio, and just can passively install some of these, it’s nice to do that whereas I’m on a live stream and recording a tutorial showing how to do this, but I can just talk through it too. The other one took maybe 10 minutes to install. So far, it seems like this is going to take maybe five minutes. So, you can see how long this is taking for “Synth Essentials.” I just did this for another pack up here, the “Build and Drop” kit. It’s amazing for video rendering, but on this computer where I make music, it works just fine for Ableton to make music and have it on there. I’ve got a 6-terabyte drive for my videos and it’s all SSD. Now, obviously, if you can afford to just get an SSD Drive that is super-fast, then I’d encourage you to go for that. Then, my main hard drive is 2 terabytes and that’s where I install all the packs on there because I can put a whole lot more on there for less. The small one is an SSD with like 250 gigs just for the operating system and the things that run faster.

Once you go over here to “Packs” in Ableton, you see if you have any available packs, it’s pretty quick to download them, at least on my Internet, but the problem is once you click “Install,” then we are liable to be here for a few minutes. The problem with downloading or installing them is that it takes a while. I read through these and I want these “Synth Essentials” because they look awesome. What I recommend doing, I click on the link “Get more packs at ,” and then I read what each one is, so I don’t needlessly just download a 60-gigabyte pack. I’m amazed that I’ve probably used Ableton for 6 months and I’ve been looking for more synths, more sounds and more drum racks, and I just realized that inside the “Packs” folder there are just tons more things that I already essentially bought with Ableton Live Suite. If you find anything helpful in this video or funny, will you please leave a like because you will feel great helping other people find it?
