In this segment, Ableton Certified Trainer J. Anthony Allen demonstrates how to browse, download, and install Ableton Live Packs directly within the Live interface. He showcases a sample library pack that includes a Max for Live device, notes the presence of updates (e.g., a 4.3 GB orchestra strings update) and decides not to download it immediately. Allen then highlights the large catalog of 194 available packs—many of which are purchased or provided to him as a trainer but not yet installed. He selects a small 6.9 MB pack (Transient Machines), downloads and installs it, and reviews its contents (presets and Max for Live devices). Throughout, he explains that packs are a convenient method for extending Live’s functionality, emphasizes the habit of checking the Packs browser, and mentions the special perk of receiving all packs as an Ableton Certified Trainer.

Okay, so this is a pack that I installed and it's a sample library. This is a pack that I installed. That's a max for Live device. Okay, so there's a lot of different ones. Now you can install more things just from right within Live. So it says three updates. So these things have updates. I could click here to to download the new update to the orchestra strings. You'll see that like any good string library, that's a big file. 4.3 gigs. So I'm not going to do that right now. But Also I have 194 available packs. I could just download any of these. So if I want. Toon Track, Bully Kit, probably a drum kit. That sounds kind of funny. Final classics. Let's find a really small one and just do it. 6.9 megs. Transient machines. Cool. So I'm just gonna click on it, download it. There it goes. Once it's downloaded, I'm gonna hit install. There it goes. Now if I go up here, I can see what was in that. Some presets, some more presets, and two Macs for Live devices. And over here it tells us a little bit about what's in that pack. Cool. So this 193 available packs. That means that on the Ableton website, I bought or was given a whole bunch of packs and I just haven't installed it yet. So this says there's a whole bunch of things that you've purchased that you haven't installed yet. So you're not going to see 193 things available. This is one of the perks of the Ableton Certified Trainer. Thing is they just give me all the packs so I can install whatever I want. So a pack is just a really handy way to get new things into your version of Live to build it up. It's not the only way, but it's a very efficient way. So get in the habit of checking out Ableton packs and just remember that this is where they live.
