creating live packs

[Gorman, Declan]

Hey Tony,
  Searching the Live 7 manual returned the following:

5.12 Packing Projects into Live Packs

Live's File Manager provides the option of packing a Live Project in
Live Pack format for convenient archiving and transfer.
To do this, choose the Manage Files command from the File menu, click
the Manage Project button, and then click on the triangular-shaped fold
button next to Packing.
Click the Create Live Pack button to bring up a file-select dialog where
you can specify the name and location of a new Live Pack file. Creating
a new Live Pack from a Project does not affect the Project. If you want
the Project deleted, you can delete it using the File Browser.

Live employs lossless compression techniques to minimize the file size
of Live Packs. Depending on the audio materials in a Project, this saves
up to 50 percent in file size.
To unpack a Live Pack (i.e., to restore the original Live Project),
double-click the Live Pack file (.alp), drag it into the Live main
window, or locate it via the File menu's Install Live Pack command. Live
will then request that you choose a location for the new Project. Note:
Factory Live Packs (those provided by Ableton) will automatically be
installed in the Live Library.

Regards,

Declan.

Subject: creating live packs

So I have the tools..and a lot of synths (and access to a few real
gems).  A friend and I were discussing the idea of putting together
some sound sample libraries.

I am thinking of putting the samples in Kontact and Live Sampler
formats.  The former is easy, but how does one create Live Packs?  Is
there something you need to get form Ableton to do this?  It may be
very obvious and I just missed it..

Suggestions?

Tony
