Clips can be conveniently saved in Live Clip format for later reuse by dragging them from

the open Live Set into the desired folder in the Library. Device presets are saved in the

Library by default (but you can also save them with a Project).

Ableton delivers Library content that can serve as a starting point for creative exploration.

Content is shipped in the form of Factory Live Packs. Factory Live Packs are available from

installation CDs, DVDs or the Ableton website

. To install a Factory Live Pack in the Library,

File menu's Install Live Pack command.

A list of the currently installed Factory Live Packs is available from the Preferences' Live Packs

tab. Here you can select individual Live Packs from the list and click the Uninstall button to

remove them.
