How to access Labs in Ableton?

mikey_023

I can only see Labs content under 'Presets' in Ableton, but nothing is playable. How do I fix this?

Taron

Go to "Plug-Ins" and find LABS(64 Bit) (assuming you are on a 64 Bit system?! ). If you don't find it there, you may have to scan your plug-ins folder again, or where ever you had it installed.

Then you drag that into your MIDI track and off you go! 😎

Thanks Taron - how do I scan the plug-ins folder?

Taron

Go to "Options" menu, select "Preferences". In Preferences you'll see "Plug-Ins" listed. That will show you everything you can do from "Rescan" to locate your plug-ins folder and so on...

I'm pretty sure, if you google for this stuff, you'll find everything you need to know and more. Sometimes it's difficult to figure out what to ask for, but just give it a try, if you're looking for more details! For example: "Ableton how to rescan plug-ins". But I'm happy to help, if I know the answers, of course. 🤓

(On Windows) I'm pretty sure you need to hold Alt+click on Rescan to actually make it scan your whole folder, its kinda tricky sometimes. Also, if you dont have "use system folders" AND "use custom folders" checked it wont show all your plugins. I have no Idea why it's like that.

Best of luck to you friend
