As im travelling a lot i use something pretty small recently switched from rme babyface to apogee duet - both are brilliant but i am preferring the duet now - to me the pre-amps seemed to be a bit cleaner - at least im finding i ve got less noise on my recordings so whether that is the reason i dont know. I Can’t Find ARCADE After Installing? ARCADE is its own plugin (Audio Unit, VST, VST3, AAX) and does not require activation in Native Access or Output HUB.

Ableton comes with an impressive, diverse and extremely usable set of instruments, effects and samples. However, at some point you will almost certainly want to install 3rd party plug ins to get that sound you need.

Luckily for you, the process of adding 3rd party plug-ins on a Mac is extremely straight forward. It is literally a case of copying the plug in files into the Mac plug in directory. Once this is done Ableton will automatically find your plug-ins ready to use.

Where is the Ableton Plug ins folder?

The truth is there isn’t one specifically for Ableton, it’s a shared plug ins folder in you Mac Library. By default the folders used to contain plug-ins, and where you need to copy them to, are:

(for AU) Library > Audio > Plug ins > Component
(for VST) Library > Audio -> Plug ins > VST

Setting a custom plug in folder

In Ableton there is also the ability to set a custom location for your plug ins folder. This is handy if you have multiple DAWs installed on the same Mac, or if you just want to use a different hard disc, perhaps a solid state to run them from.

In the Ableton top menu go to:

Preferences > File Folder > VST Plug-In Custom Folder

Make sure to enable the feature, and you can now copy plug ins to any location you like.

Hi all. After being away from the Live world for a while, looking to get back to production.
Most of the time I won't be using physical instruments or mics - just the Push 2 and computer. If I go with a new MacBook Pro, will I still need an external audio interface for low latency, or is the MacBook internal audio good enough for digital production?
How about with beefy VSTs like Massive or Serum?
Is it correct to assume that Windows laptops would always require an interface for decent performance?

Thanks in advance! I've always used Live on my Windows desktop with a Focusrite 2i2, but looking to reduce my footprint and increase portability with just a laptop and Push, if possible.
