How to make M4L packs "dependant" from the alp files?

    Hi! All of my M4L packs (alp files) are located on my SSD but I've noticed that when I install a pack it takes space on my main drive. Since live is installed on my main drive, are the samples from my SSD being copied to my main drive (where Live is located by default, c: / ProgramData / Ableton) ?

    If so is it possible to prevent that, so that live only uses the alp packs to get the samples? And if not, should I just install Live on my SSD (since I got plenty of space on that one)?

    NVM I just found how to do it. Right click on the m4l pack (in live), move pack. sigh..

    You can change Live's default .alp install directory so you don't have to move every pack you install.

    Options > Preferences > Library > Installation Folder for Packs
