Frequently asked questions
The essentials.
Does SampleLink include samples?
No. SampleLink works with the sample files already stored on your computer; it does not bundle third-party sample packs.
Does it replace Ableton's browser?
It complements it with a focused audio-sample workflow: combined filters, detailed waveforms, source information, Find Similar and in-context previewing.
Does SampleLink upload my sample library?
No. Your files remain in their original folders. SampleLink maintains a local index pointing to them.
